" Another Mile "
( Lyrics By Gerald Logan)
( Verse 1 )
He once had a house by the gulf on the bay,
White picket fence and kids at play.
But the storm came roaring, the water ran wild,
In one dark night, he lost it all to the tide.
( Verse 2 )
No insurance papers, no money in hand,
Just a memory washed out like footprints in sand.
His wife took the children and moved far away,
Now he walks alone through the wreckage each day.
( Chorus )
He goes another mile, though the road is long,
Carrying a story of where it went wrong.
A home turned to rubble, a life swept away,
But his feet keep moving at the break of each day.
Another mile, he walks with a weary smile,
Another mile… with no place to call his own.
( Verse 3 )
He still hears the wind when he closes his eyes,
Sees roofs torn apart under blackened skies.
The church bells silent, the town all gone,
Yet his faith whispers, “Son, keep pressing on.”
( Chorus )
He goes another mile, though the road is long,
Carrying a story of where it went wrong.
A home turned to rubble, a life swept away,
But his feet keep moving at the break of each day.
Another mile, he walks with a weary smile,
Another mile… with no place to call his own.
( Bridge )
One act of kindness, one hand reaching out,
Could lift him from sorrow, erase the doubt.
For even a man with nothing to show,
Still has a heart that longs to go home.
( Final Chorus )
So he goes another mile, through the pain and rain,
Hoping tomorrow won’t look the same.
The storm took his house, but it spared his soul,
And his spirit keeps walking, still aiming for whole.
Another mile, he goes through the trial,
Another mile… still dreaming of home.
( Outro )
Yeah, another mile…
Another mile…
