The dust of the road

The dust of the road sleeps calmly on my coat The hope of life's show is sinking in my throat And every day my soul Is fighting to stay whole My ship is not afloat It’s become a houseboat My dancing to the sound Of dreams of a little child Makes my heart desire Just a piece of quiet But deep inside my mind I’m forever light and young There is no finish line As long as my star still shines I live my way, and time Is a fading butterfly That flutters before my eyes There is no finish line When I finally realized That the first part of my life Had simply passed me by With nothing left behind I faced only my debts Saw nothing but regrets But I've got a second chance To change my sleeping dance ‘Cause deep inside my mind I’m forever light and young There is no finish line As long as my star still shines I live my way, and time Is a fading butterfly That flutters before my eyes There is no finish line And every passing year Makes it harder to break mEe I look Into my face And see a smile of unbroken strength!
