Deserted Road

Once this path was green.

Full of courage I took the first step.

Full of hope I took the second step.

Blue sky and green trees were guarding me.

Back then I took this staff I am holding now.

Back then I was strong.

I have been wandering,

Days, months and years have passed by.

Time did not tell me.

Time did not tell me.

The green road is no more.

Dust flies through my fading being.

A red sky is looming over me.

But...

Hope is still there.

The goal once set,

The friends met,

The friends lost.

Hope is still there.

My staff is withering,

becoming dust.

My being is withering,

becoming dust.

Yet my hope is still there.

So I step forward.
