Journey of My Life
One day you shall know
The story of my life
Some footprints
Would have faded
The ink would have dried up
Some pages torn
Or glaring scars
Depicting the journey of my life
One day you shall know
The story of my life
That I toiled and soiled
My hands
I wept and prayed
As I trekked
On the journey of my life
One day you shall know
The story of my life
That I saved and lost
The fortunes of my life
That the human sharks
Couldn’t let me be
Neither let me reach
The dream of my life
One day you shall know
The story of my life
That at times I stumbled and fell
At times I crawled in pain
At times I ran in panic
At times I walked hopelessly
In the journey of my life
One day you shall now
The story of my life
That every time I stumbled
I stood up
Every time I walked
I tried to run
And every time I ran
I tried to fly
In the journey of my life.
One day you shall know
The story of my life
That the journey of life
Is like the streets
Some have lights
Some are in darkness
That the story of life
Is like the desert
Nights are cold
Days are hot
That the journey of life
Is full of crossroads
With smiling faces
That hides hatred and deceit
While some radiates true affection
One day you shall know
