The Dark Road

Each day you make a wish
trying your best to swallow,
that dreams can come true,
to bring a path to follow

It's roads are paved in black,
You're blinded by the night
Unsure what lies ahead,
but prepared to face a fight

If dreams are what you seek,
and you need them to surpass
nothing stands in your way,
and the heartache's in the past

Sometimes you doubt the chance,
that hope can get us through
yet still you keep on wishing,
to make your dreams come true

Just when you think it's over,
and there's nothing left to face
you realize that you did it,
and your pain has been erased
