here comes a weary traveler
with blisters on her feet
feeling lost and helpless
she falls to her knees
to thank God for her courage
determination and faith
to continue her journey
with all her honor and grace
she won't give up so quickly
never lingers too long
learns any lessons available
til she finds a place to belong
everywhere she's ever been
she tried to make a connection
to feel out her surroundings
for any form of affection
even though she gets rejected
from any common ground of man
she still believes in second chances
and little footprints in the sand
she cannot let pain and loneliness
conquor the hope she feels
she walks a path that's hers alone
it's the only thing that's real
without fear of what's to come
and no worry in her eyes
she gladly walks with blisters
onto the next surprise
each day, she has an adventure
exploring anything that's new
obstacles, trials and tribulations
have become something fun to do
she knows that it won't be easy
but a challenge makes her feel alive
she was never meant to conform
to a life she couldn't survive
being somewhere too long, bores her
she quickly begins to feel caged
she feels a sickness rising
tries to control her fits of rage
but there's a monster inside her
she's so afraid to unleash
because she's seen the wreckage
she knows the strength of the beast
which is why she tries so hard
to find peace whereever she goes
she'd much rather live to be happy
while deep inside, her fury grows
ah... but she knows of great power
that God granted to all of mankind.
freedom of will. she has a choice
to journey forth. leave it all behind.
she'll take any blessings
any memories woth keeping
then slip into the shadows
while the others are sleeping
steel away in the wind
her only compass so far
see where it takes her
a new journey starts
hope and curiosity calm
the monster she holds inside
she travels onto the next venture
tucking away the rage she hides
then offering the world a vision
of a traveler living on faith
that someday she'll find peace
to match her strength and grace
she may forever be searching
for love, acceptance and where she belongs
she's driven by faith in her purpose
to quickly recognize the wrong,
the negative or unuseful...
all just the devil's tricks
to distract her from what's important
or try to make her forget
that her travels are genuine
and promise rewards at the end.
if she never gives up
she'll eventually make real friends.
