It’s easy to say with such certainty
the paths we’re meant to follow
But the challenge that we find
is in the following
To take that straight and narrow path
without falling to temptation
or succumbing to the struggle
supposed to drive us onward
that just makes limbs so weak
and hearts so heavy
Such a simple thing, to fall
to fail in what we know we should
to cling to what’s no longer there
until the strength we have to move
has bled through tightened fingertips
and left us without will to care
But we must never falter long
We know the path we’re meant to take
and through the darker moments
We find the light that shines our way
And somehow through it all
we crawl through the broken glass
until we can find our feet
and carry on
