Walk On

Last...
 Now that I can see
 The future
 Ain't what it used to be.
 Like a poet
 Without vision
 An object of mockery...
 A dreamer who lost his dream
 To reality.
 Won't give up,
 Though the going's slow
 I'll trade all my footsteps
 For a shot at tomorrow.
 Tattoo my intentions
 Across these streets of time
 And fight till the future
 Is once again mine.
 'Cos I'm the immortal
 Baptized in fire.
 Unable to die
 Unless I desire,
 I'm the light
 Piercing the darkest dawn.
 I'm the human spirit
 Walking on.
 I'm down
 And so close to out
 I'm the foot soldier
 Who suffered the rout
 But I'll stand again
 In conquest of pain...
 To walk on,
 As a king among men.
 I'll make mistakes
 Of that I'm sure.
 Lose my strength
 When I need more.
 Taste my fear,
 In life's battlefields
 But I won't trade
 My sword for the shield.
 'Cos i'm the immortal
 Baptized in fire.
 Unable to die
 Unless I desire.
 I'm the light
 Piercing the darkest darn.
 I'm the human spirit,
 Walking on.
