the near north
I entered a land
Where we fought…and cried
Loved…and died.

Have no fear…

When confusion is more than a passerby
And clarity begins to wane
When he whose lowly spirits roam
Through night ‘til early dawn

Live long the light that lights the way
…the path my journey takes
that leads me through the maze of ways
mistakes…I’m sure to make

but when the dark days settle in
confusing thoughts abound
when love and life isn’t looked upon
as good…or safe, like now

I journeyed past what wasn’t right
In search of what wasn’t wrong
I thought this strange
…not quite like me
still, I journeyed…and journeyed on

Atop a mound of deep despair
I found a single dream
I studied long
I studied hard
To find there what it means

From deep despair, I discovered love
And hope
And happiness, too
One said that I was wrong for this
Then asked, “what will you do?”

I’ll follow the glow that warms my soul
Listening to what it has to say
I’ll follow the light that brightens my way
As it lights another day

I’ll walk the road of lonely times
‘til I fall or find my way
travel the expanse overlooking despair
trying to escape my yesterday

I walked alone
…was on my own
through morning, noon, and night
they said I’d fail
I wouldn’t succeed
But I needed to understand RIGHT

Through jungles of wrong
I walked alone
To find my destiny
Fighting
Kicking
All the way
In search of what should be

I
Alone
I
Sing
The
Song
My passions running deep
Through jungles of wrong
I walk alone
When done
I’ll
Sit
And
Weep

The lands were scavenged
Picked and cleaned
Barren of all things right
When that land
…became a home
wrong stripped it of all life

I traveled through that barren wasteland
Steadily…on my quest
To discover RIGHT and LOVE and LIFE
Or DIE…while trying my best

I encountered opposition along the way
No one would support my aim
When I’d stutter, stumble, or fall
Wrong fought to smother my claim

Confusion rules…

‘til RIGHT takes flight.
