Even the ones behind, Following me on a distance Suddenly creeping up, Pulling up billboards of failure.
Pulling me into a corner Ending up questioning myself, Did not know about my helpers Let alone enquiring their help.
I hear the sounds of traffic Up and down on the main road distant in my ears,
I wonder what life is like Traveling on the main road, While my gaze turns grey, I'm thinking of a way, A Way out of the grey, Searching and longing For the light of freedom.
A traveler for so long, Or so I felt,
But I broke my silence With a leap, a shout And a morning and evening warcry! Realizing that my help does not come from the main road, But from above!
The Lord is my Helper and eagerly reacts to my cry. Although they tried to silence me, I kept pressing on, Prolonging the frequency of my battle cry!
An appearance of light Brightens up my gaze Watching, and awareness Of the new voice behind, Announcing the way to go. I'm depending on a new voice
