walk alone

sometimes it feels like
there's no way home
when you lose the trail
between your heart
and the road

the sun sinks
in a different horizon
and try as i may
i don't know where to find it

and i
walk this line
like all the rest
some find their feet
some fall
that's all
sometimes no matter what you say
there's just
no way home

when the detour sign is posted
loud and clear
and the path ahead
is dusty-rocky
i will bear my fate
i will bide my time
and pray
my dreams
come to something

yes i walk this line
like all the rest
some find their feet
some fall
that's all
sometimes no matter how hard you try
there's just no way to know what's next
i would take my chances with the best
but no matter how you word it or explain
sometimes
there's just no way home

so i'll set out in the morning
with the dawn
and hope the new day greets me with an open sky
when i look back from my destination
i hope i will say
that i didn't have to walk alone
even though
there's no way home
