Darkness a way of life, feeling and fumbling around
In the sky occasional pin pricks of light, but I’m on the ground
Many roads can be found, many junctions abound
I travel with a vengeance, not knowing where I’m bound
Fellow travellers on my path, some silly buggers going the wrong way
No one understands me, but I know I’m making headway
Roads become tracks, then a bloody big motorway
I’ll push and I’ll fight, every single day
Been there and seen that, earned my badge at that
Always moving and staying ahead, I haven’t picked up any fat
Stayed here and laid there, somewhere I lost my hat
Getting very tired, perhaps its time I sat
Shit! I didn’t see that, now everything’s damage
Without this and that, how am I going to manage
Nothing works anymore; perhaps I can find a garage
Still it’s dark and there’s many roads, I’ll try and flag a carriage
Nothing passes by; funny it was there when I didn’t need it
Now it’s dark and quiet, totally alone I now sit
Life’s thoughts weigh in and out, tempting me to quit
I think about it, and then decide I’m not putting up with this shit
I reach into my bag of tricks, forgotten on my many trips
A pair of wings and a bright light, a song upon my lips
Heavy at first I flap and turn, then life nips
Armed afresh and ready for battle, I leave behind my many chips
Feeling light and carrying my torch, I begin again
Better for my lesson, a painful bargain
The futures bright and I can see the lights, greater height I will gain
This time I know the rules and I know the way, but I expect there will still be pain
