In The Middle Of A Journey

IN THE MIDDLE OF A JOURNEY - Written by Carroll Bryant

Days are too long

Nights are too short

Rain will fall and fall

Through it all

I travel down my road

I heed the call 

Wave goodbye to my friends

See you on my journey's end

A new life shall begin again

So you see, I'm just like you

I got a purpose too, that can only fit me

Like yours can only fit you

And everybody shares in a purpose

Everybody is aware too

Everybody here can rejoice in the knowledge 

They have a job to do

Until their days are through

You journey your entire life away

Fighting to just get by

Struggling to stay alive

But time is wasting much too much away

It's all you can do to feel free

It's so hard to break those chains

I won't give up when I'm in the middle of a journey

Searching for love

Searching for freedom

I love being free

Making my own choices for myself

This life I made fits me

Not anybody else

But there are people trying to take that away

They think they know better

I'm in the middle of a journey 

Trying to save the earth and earthlings

Trying to save freedom

I will survive

Or meet my demise all alone

In the middle of the night

I will cry 

For the loss of freedom and of life

To the young I say

To the young I pray

To the young we gave away

I'm sorry

I'm so sorry

For fucking up your journey

If freedom was your thing

America took it away

And I'm sorry

I will cry 

For the loss of freedom and of life

To the young I say

To the young I pray

To the young we gave away

We took away your freedom

I'm sorry
