    I guess this is kinda depressing. Lonely for sure.

    The Road
    It’s a lonely road to travel
    Paved with stones, a path of gravel
    Heart is aching, strengths unravel
    With the weight of the load

    Seems I’ve walked and walked for decades
    Feet are aching, cut on rock blades
    Hacked from bitter words cascades
    And no one shares the load

    Oh this weary road I’ve traveled
    I have walked it for years
    Yet no friend have I found on it
    Not a one to share tears
    It’s the cry my heart is screaming
    For a friend I’m dreaming
    It’s a lonely road to travel
    When no one shares the load

    A friend’s love would brighten the days
    Lift my head and clear all this haze
    Clouding my view with dark grays
    Yet no one shares the road

    If they fall down, I’d help them stand
    Be refreshing in burning sand
    Strengthen each other as we trek this land
    But not one friend I know

    Oh this weary road I’ve traveled
    I have walked it for years
    Yet no friend have I found on it
    Not a one to share tears
    It’s the cry my heart is screaming
    For a friend I’m dreaming
    It’s a lonely road to travel
    When no one shares the load

    It’s a lonely road to travel
    When your heart crumbles like gravel
    Watching your strength unravel
    With the weight of the load

    Will the road ahead be barren
    Always ring with cry of raven
    Will no soul come be my haven
    Come walk along the road
