Motherjane Walk On
Last...
now that I can see
The future
ain't what it used to be.
Like a poet
without vision
An object of mockery...
A dreamer who lost his dream
to reality.
Won't give up,
though the going's slow
I'll trade all my footsteps
for a shot at tomorrow.
Tattoo my intentions
across these streets of time
and fight till the future
is once again mine.
'Cos I'm the immortal
Baptized in fire.
Unable to die
unless I desire,
I'm the light
piercing the darkest dawn.
I'm the human spirit
Walking on.
I'm down
and so close to out
I'm the foot soldier
who suffered the rout
But I'll stand again
in conquest of pain...
To walk on,
as a king among men.
I'll make mistakes
of that I'm sure.
Lose my strength
when I need more.
Taste my fear,
in life's battlefields
But I won't trade
my sword for the shield.
'Cos i'm the immortal
Baptized in fire.
Unable to die
unless I desire.
I'm the light
piercing the darkest darn.
I'm the human spirit,
Walking on.
