The World That I Live

I've traveled this road
Sometimes I think too long
And looking back,
Almost seems
Like an old country song.
The memories and emotions
That pave this great road,
Built by the tears
And sweat from my soul.

My friendships built bridges
O'er the pitfalls I made
As past loves create
The flowers that stayed.
Some dreams paint the mountains
That loom in my midst,
The sorrows I've felt
Make the clouds and the mist.

Though my journey's not over
There's a world to be made
I see the horizon
In hopes that won't fade.
There's no road here
Not traveled
And no sins unatoned,
Though I've rambled about
Through some hardships of stone.

Well one thing is certain
I've learned on this trip,
We all paint a world
With a life that we give.
