Verse 1

When did I step off the road where I thought I belong?

I ended up in this world which I know nothing of

With people around I feel alone

I need to get out, need to clear my thoughts

I wanna find my way home, nothing more

Pre-chorus

I’m too tired and thinking is hard

but my mind is torn apart

I need to get up and try to escape

so I walk across this barren land

Chorus

where is the shining path

that brings the light to my life and erases the darkness?

I pull myself onto my feet

my mind’s made up I know that I don’t wanna stay here

what will I choose to fight or to flee?

Verse 2

I can not accept defeat, with broken bones and broken will

I’m still strong enough to overcome my fear

the fear that I will lose myself when I try to leave this place

but I will keep moving leaving no remains

Pre-chorus

I’m awake but my mind is a mess

so much struggle I can’t face

I’ll fight through the pain and try to escape

so I walk across this barren land

Chorus

where is the shining path

that brings the light to my life and erases the darkness?

I pull myself onto my feet

my mind’s made up I know that I don’t wanna stay here

what will I choose to fight or to flee?

Bridge

Across this valley I will walk

and welcome the unknown into my heart and soul

(and let the mystery unfold)

The heavy clouds will disappear

giving way to the light that will be guiding me

(the shining path lies dead ahead now I can see)

Chorus

There is the shining path

that brings the light to my life and erases the darkness

I’m standing firmly on my feet

my mind’s made up I know that I don’t wanna stay here

I will choose to fight and not to flee

I can see the shining path

My mind’s made up I know that I don’t wanna stay here

I can see the shining path

I will choose to fight and not to fleeS
