Further Down the Road.


He laid aside his sword for our battle was done.
It no longer mattered who had lost or who had won.
In turn my shield dropped, I wouldn't need it any more.
The war would be over as soon as I walked out the door.

So with a backward smile for the days of gold
I drifted toward tomorrow further down the road.

If I had looked for him I would not have seen him there.
My eyes were dazzled by the road's bright glare.
Did he look back at me before I had gone too far?
Maybe he saw me reaching for yet another star.

Now with a lighter heart and a spirit of gold,
I'm looking at tomorrow further down the road.
