As the sun lifts the veil on a misty morn
Whispers of worry in the silence born
They tug at my soul a relentless fight
In the struggle to move I seek the light
With a painted smile I face the day
Wishing for change a new pathway
Yet in the depths I search for a spark
A flame to guide me through the dark
Locked within the labyrinth of my mind
Holding back tears for the world is blind
Sometimes joy peeks through the grey
My wife my kin they light the way
With a painted smile I face the day
Wishing for change a new pathway
Yet in the depths I search for a spark
A flame to guide me through the dark
I cherish them my heart's true maze
Hoping to reclaim the brighter days
To be the man I once knew so well
The one I yearn for time will tell
With a painted smile I face the day
Wishing for change a new pathway
Yet in the depths I search for a spark
A flame to guide me through the dark
One day the dusk will paint skies anew
A tapestry of hues a vibrant view
Happiness will find its way to stay
With friends and kin in bright array
Loneliness will fade into the night
Love and cherished bonds will hold me tight
In this journey through twists and turns
For a fulfilled life my spirit yearns
