about

(the narrator awakes to a world he ceased to be a part of long ago)

lyrics

early morning, 5 a.m., sky bereft of light
instinct is telling my body to rise & i try with all my might
gravity & apathy weighs this old body down
decades of years & too many tears make me feel every pound

and if there's many more days to face
i pray that won't always be the case
until that long walk is complete
the journey begins beneath these feet

a dreg in the shower at this early hour, there's something quite awry
i want to seethe with anger- but all i can do is cry
i remember when each new day was a gift; potential was my middle name
but time slipped by & i now know why i've no one but myself to blame

tomorrow might bring a smile to my face
and i pray that just might be the case
it could bring either rapture or defeat
and the journey begins beneath these feet
