At first I thought the worst had come
And all at once the sun denied me of its guiding light
And I was blind and I was aimless in the cold
And I was growing old and I was starting to fall behind
It slipped right through my hands
And shattered on the ground
I couldn't keep my mind from forcing out
The shadow of a doubt that life had come and gone
I wanted sleep and I was aching for the day
But there was no escape and no way to turn around
And what's to come of who I was supposed to be?
With the storm forming above these beloved fantasies
I'm trying to keep up but I'm losing ground
Trying to reach the top before I slide back down
To watch with my own eyes as the last light fades away
But until that day I'll pray for a sign
Just give me time to decide what I'm headed towards
Far away - just show me I'll be ok
At the end of my road
But every step I take could be taken a different way
There's no way to erase the footprints that I make
You can watch your life through the keyhole
Standing outside as it all unfolds
Waiting for the right time but I'm opening the door
Gonna let all the light pour onto the street
Where I can see my feet
As I place each one with care
Exactly where it was meant
To push off to the next footstep
And each one will reflect the one I took before
And direct me to the rest until I can take no more
