The Dark Road

I was walking down a lonely dark road Not a light to be seen, not a light was shone. Then I heard a voice say: if you choose To follow me, then a light you will see. I decided to follow the voice that I heard For in my darkness he gave me his word. Never in my life could I see, how the walk With the lord could change me. The light that he told me I would see Changed my life drastically. So many secrets that I tried to hide That throughout my life I lied. Lies have a way of coming back at you Then you don’t know what to do. Lies that at the time, you found small Later on will come back tall. Since you had continued to add to that lie That lie has gotten so out of hand That you don’t have a foot to stand. This walk with my lord opened up my eyes And showed me that I was blind. Blind to the fact of the people that get hurt That a lie continues to give birth. Be true to yourself and true to others. And you won’t get caught in the lies That could break up friendships And family ties.
