I've worked hard as I could
To make a better life
Fate has been cruel
Took my child and my wife
I lost my faith in everything
Even my cross of gold
It's time I was leaving
To follow the dark road
I walked in the sunshine
And rested in the shade
I wrestled with my demons
But faced them unafraid
Take nothing for granted
As I bear my heavy load
Lost in my solemn thoughts
As I travel
Time's a great healer
Someone once said to me
I`m not sure if it's true
These things are meant to be
Take what life throws at you
Don't be bound by any code
Stare fate in the eye
As I walk the dark road
