Long Time Ago

I am alone, alone and alive

taking a road i was told a long time agi

a road thats not traveled as far as ive gone

not matter how lost or afraid i may feek

i still travel forward reciting by ear

those few fateful words of a long time ago

i stumbled along and few did i cry

and i remembered those words

full of wisdom and pride

never did i challenge, for it was mine to discover

the road that i traveled was not made for me

here bears no crossroads

no turning back

just reciting those words of a long time ago

of a destiny chosen for my eyes alone

one i would have never picked on my own

but still never questioned the path that i see

and i still walk on further to

whatever greets or condemns me

i am alone and alive

but no matter what happens

or whats left unsaid

theres no going back

theres no choice ahead

and so i am bound

to move steadily forward

reciting by ear those words that you told me

those few fateful words

of a long time ago

with a path that was given to me to accept

when everyone stood still

i ended up pushed to the road im on now

which i believed full of wisdom

and joy and of hope but i ended up alone and alive

stuck in your long time ago
