A SHADOW OF MY FORMER SELF


I'm not the man I used to be,
Just the shadow of my former self.
The barrier that confronts me now,
It caught me up by stealth.

The route to go is in front of me,
There is no other way.
If I should leave my chosen path,
So dearly I would pay.

The time is passing quickly now,
I need to reach my goal.
My earthly body will remain,
But I will lose my soul.

A cloud drifts by the Sun has gone,
My soul has disappeared.
'til my heart and soul are one again,
I'll cry the tears I feared.
