Who Are You?

I am the one
I am the free
Except from the Shadow
That walks behind me.

Walking down this dark road
That's where I am
Trying to escape misery.
Seems like I can't.

There is little hope
For the great lot of those
Who try to escape this life
Into which they are thrown.

But for the few of us
Who respect and understand,
Who have been through the darkness
And continue to stand,

We will travel and prosper
Not settle and fail
Not moan or cry
Nor burn in our own hell.

We'll still carry
The burdens of our past
But continue to move
Despite what is had

So for you I say this
Whatever person you may be
If your going to choose
Choose to be free.
