The Road Is Long to Daylight

Rick Beuttenmuller

The road is long to daylight

My throat is dry from thirst
My feet are torn from walking
But my heartache - it hurts worse

My brain from thought is throbbing

From pain I shriek and curse
Pleasant memories, dead, are dying
Behold the famous verse!

This is the game that never ends

It just goes on and on my friends
The maker started playing it,
Not knowing what it was
Will we continue living it
Forever - just because?
