Crossing The Fire

Going for a ride, on a quiet Saturday night.

Followed the sun, 'till it was outta sight.

Didn't expect to be so afraid of the dark.

Something about this place makes me lose my spark.

Everywhere I turn, I get that look.

I wanna turn back, but I can't find the turn that I took.

There's nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide.

Gotta sink into the darkness and learn to abide.

There are so many laws in this land,

All of which I can't seem to understand.

Feelin so lost and incomplete,

With only the shadows there for me to greet.

There's a new emptiness in my soul,

Without you I can't feel whole.

A new wave rises in my heart,

Gotta learn to drown it before the start.

I've lost myself and I'm ready to be found.

Waiting for the time, when things will maybe turn around.

Lost in the depths of an ocean so wide,

Will I ever be brought in by the tide?

Now the time has come for me to decide,

And not in a single soul will I confide.

Takin this journey all alone,

And yeah, I guess I’m ok with being on my own.

I'm gonna stand on my own two feet,

Touchin the hearts of everyone I meet.

That's the only way my voice I'll find,

So maybe now, I can learn to speak my mind.

And I know that I'm gonna fall on the gravel,

But that's ok, as long I take this path that's harder to travel.

If I keep going I’ll even cross the fire,

These are the things that’ll take me higher.

It’s too late to turn back,

Can’t worry about what I used to lack.

I gotta learn to take two extra steps each time.

But I need to be slow, can’t afford to slip in the slime.

Stepping out with my head held high,

I’m gonna spread my wings and soar into the sky.
