You’ve traveled far away from home

In lands of new and old unknown

With bare feet bleeding in the snow

And trails of red everywhere you go.

 

Heavy heart and determined eyes

No one that you recognize

Only dark and stormy skies

All alone no matter how you try.

 

You recall days when it was easy

Never a burden to be alive and breathing

No intention of ever leaving

No remorse for the lies you were weaving.

 

But soon enough they found you out

Uncovered the truths you lied about

Attacked and clawed at your mouth

No more could you scream and shout.

 

You started anew with hope and healing

Moving past old wounds, no longer grieving

New faces and names unaware of your thieving

Most proud of the new life you were leading.

 

A man from before came to the square

Smiling and playing, you were unaware

Sounded the alarm upon your past

Vowing you had better run fast.

 

Alone and in the forest afraid

Tears remember the price you paid

You’re a new person, no longer the same

Thought you’d be fine if you changed your name.

 

On to the next town in search of home

Over hills and lakes and canyons you’ll roam

Looking again for a new beginning

Where no one knows of your past sinning.

 

Your past isn’t who you are now

You’ll find a home – it won’t be long now.

You will find a home

It will not be long now.
