The Journey Thus Far

Walk with me,

Hand in hand

Through an eternity of forest

Over an ocean of sand

We'll explore this land

Through life's greatest beauties

Together we'll stand

Mending the broken-hearted

Inspiring nations uncharted

Igniting forgotten flames

Kindred spirits without names

Love for all, and all the same

Walk with me



    You've journeyed with me,

    Hand in hand

    Together, we've weathered the storm

    And reshaped this land

    Endured the calm before reform 

    We've watched the world transform

    Now, united we stand

    Eager to see what comes next

    Together, no problem too complex

    The love of my life

    Child in tow, proud to call you my wife

    Stay with me


            Taken from me

            As I held your hand,

            Gone, too, our baby 

            For reasons I'll never understand

            Broken, shattered, foregone

            No longer does the horizon,

            wait beyond the dawn

            I'm doing my best

            But only getting colder

            The voices in my head

            Growing louder, growing bolder

            Forgive me

                            You once... walked with me,

                            Hand in hand,

                            You gave your life

                            To... protect this land

                            Now, alone I stand

                            A hollow shell of a man

                            Gun in hand

                            I will retake this land


Please, remember me for the man I was

Not for the monster I've become
