Corrine May: Journey

It's a long long journey
Till I know where I'm supposed to be
It's a long long journey
And I don't know if I can believe
When shadows fall and block my eyes
I am lost and know that I must hide
It's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you

Many days I've spent
Drifting on through empty shores
Wondering what's my purpose
Wondering how to make me strong

I know I will falter
I know I will cry
I know you'll be standing by my side
It's a long long journey
And I need to be close to you

Sometimes it feels no one understands
I don't even know why
I do the things I do
When pride builds me up till I can't see my soul
Will you break down these walls and pull me through

Cause it's a long long journey
Till I feel that I am worth the price
You paid for me on Calvary
Beneath those stormy skies

When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes
It feels like everything is out to make me lose control
Cause it's a long long journey
Till I find my way home to you
To you

The journey is long, confusing and tiring. When Satan mocks and friends turn to foes, its really sad how things in life can become. Something that you have never expected in your entire life. Yet, happened has it. Each erratic viewpoint, each misconception that others have about you only leaves you to ponder, is it really true that I have done all these? Why must whatever we do be viewed upon by others negatively and with so much suspicion? I know we must always reflect, but what happens when we reflect hard and its indeed true that we ave never said or done things that others claimed you have done? Its demoralizing, heart breaking and only serves to drive you away from what is good to our alter ego. Each day Jekyll wanes, Hyde strengthens. When can truth prevail and when would it be when the mask of pretensions and misconceptions be removed?
