That day
I put the wheels in motion
Knowing full well
The courage that it takes
Starting off on a journey
When you know you got no brakes

That night
Down deep inside Im drowning
Among those shallow depths  of my emotions
I know
The problems that I'm facing
Won't have no magic potion

This time
can't wait till it's all  behind me
So I won't have to turn around
Every time
I think I hear a sound
Only to see and  be
Reminded of
Where it is. that I came from

There was
No way
To stop the dereliction
Once I realized
My Life - was barely short of fiction

Destitute
Devoid of all  compassion
Something happens to a man
When opens up his eyes
Looking
  beyond the thin disguise
He finally begin seeing
How blinded that he was being

The pain
Is nothing like the regret
He carriesLike a boulder
Upon his sagging shoulder
As its breaking down his back

To know
Just how much of his existence
Of which he has been s cheated
In finding out.the deck was stacked
The only  evidence he needed
Turning  suspicions into fact

To reach ....
. That day
When I put the wheels in motion
I  know ...... Full well
The courage that it took me
To just go- wherever the Journey takes
In the end... I set my spirit free
I set my spirit free
