The dust settles down
As he waits so long
In this tired old town.
Dreams in carriages,
Heartbeats in sync.
Iron wheels rattle
As he takes a quick drink.
Farmers search for fields overrun,
With weeds, they are always on the run.
Travelin' on the train of life,
Joy in the pain, in struggle and strife.
Kids beggin' alms for a sibling in need,
Hopes tangled up in a world full of weeds.
A housewife ignores
The emptiness inside,
Her family's left
For lands far and wide,
She decorates life
With struggle and roots.
With each passing day,
She finds a new route.
The chariot rolls
Through the stories untold,
Where every small truth
As worthy as gold.
Travelin' on the chariot of life,
Joy in the pain, in the struggle and strife,
Kids beggin' alms for a sibling in need,
Hopes tangled up in a world full of weeds.
