Sometimes

Sometimes, one just can’t imagine,
Sometimes, one just don’t see-
Sometimes, one may not be able-
to have the heart, to be set free

But I do; Yes I do; I’m gonna step
down off this train-
This train I been ridin’ for all
these years-
Been watchin’ the world
from behind the glass-
gonna’ wipe away the goodbye tears

While the weight may bear down
and hurt-
While the clouds may gather ‘round-
I know somewhere beyond it all-
There’s sunshine and sturdy ground

And, I intend to find it-
I won’t give up the search; Not until I see-
The open gate of opportunity-
The one that sets me free

And so this journey may be long-
but that’s okay with me-
I’ve a lifetime to get it right-
Sometimes, that’s just the way it
has to be
