I can feel it, how the weather's changing
Chilled winds and to the ground the leaves are falling
Another year passing by with no further accomplished steps
In the same place unintended and promises never kept

Don't know how many miles I've gone just to meet the start
Seems every time I try everything keeps falling apart
And it might seem easy but try walking in my shoes and see
It's been a long and lonely road with heartbreaks and misery

But I keep going, on this dark and lonely road
Feet tired eyes drip carrying a heavy load
It's so hard when I've been at it alone for so long
And it feels like I keep hearing the same old sad song
Over and over, traveling on this dark and lonely road

Sometimes I feel like giving up completely and let myself fall
But that would only prove I'm weak and a failure making that call
I don't want to let the weakness take over and lose myself completely
No, so I keep fighting to make it another mile won't let it defeat me

Arms crossed feel my body lose warmth cold chilling my aching bone
Another painful step and I can't see walking into the unknown
And I just wish someone would come and find me and take me home
Want to feel warmth of a kind soul, arms to carry me so I'm not alone

But I keep going, on this dark and lonely road
Feet tired eyes drip carrying a heavy load
It's so hard when I've been at it alone for so long
And it feels like I keep hearing the same old sad song
Over and over, traveling on this dark and lonely road

It's getting late; guess it's going to be another sleepless night
Just want to get to where I'm going not sure if this road is right
Just wish that the light would shine through all the darkness
Traveling blind reaching out into the still and empty headed for madness

Feel like I'll never make it like I'm wasting my time and faith
Battle after battle I'm tired of fighting never feeling safe
Afraid I finally admit it I'm terrified of reaching a dead end
The way back I don't think I could stand it and the pain deepened

But I keep going, on this dark and lonely road
Feet tired eyes drip carrying a heavy load
It's so hard when I've been at it alone for so long
And it feels like I keep hearing the same old sad song
Over and over, traveling on this dark and lonely road

Steady pace moving along hope to make it there soon
Maybe it isn't as dark as I thought catching sight of the full moon
Not going to give up even though I'm barely able to stand
And I'm praying that soon someone will be kind and grab my hand

And I keep going, on this dark and lonely road
Feet tired eyes drip carrying a heavy load
It's so hard when I've been at it alone for so long
And it feels like I keep hearing the same old sad song
Over and over, traveling on this dark and lonely road
This dark and lonely road
This dark and lonely road
