Walking silently on the highway
thinking of nothing but how time flew away
remembering all the good times we had
i never knew why things would stop being glad
Its a long long walk here and i'm alone
with emptiness all around and inside me
how can i ever live now when all is gone
why does it always have to be so...
And now the times seem to change
why is everything looking so strange
but has the pain gone away
and will life ever be the same...
Seems to me it never might,
looks so, but ain't such a big fight
why am i still looking for answers
why is this world so cruel
So i call out to you my old friend
and i say 'ahoy there, will you help?
i'm a lonely vagabond on a road with no end
with no one to call my own. O please help
This wicked cruel place is not what i desire
I need you to save me from the fire...
The fire, o yeah the fire
Which burns all that is alive
And scars all that isn't
The fire divides, & then burns all together
as if hunting the people now running helter skelter
The very people who started it,
who fueled it, who raised it
with their own men & women,calling them names
Just looking for reasons to throw them into the flames
And now everywhere they all run,
But there's no respite under the burning hot sun
In some time it is all over
With the scorched earth looking for cover
And darkness decends...
Walking silently on the highway

remembering all the good times we had
i never knew why things would stop being glad
Its a long long walk here and i'm alone
with emptiness all around and inside me
how can i ever live now when all is gone
why does it always have to be me...
