A Quiet Road

Walking down a quiet lane, shadows whisper my name

Learning lessons, softly gained, in the silence, I remain

Oh, I've learned a thing or two, it’s true

What to hold on tight, what to pass right through

Two reasons I choose the peaceful way

One, what’s mine to keep, I won't betray

And two, I won’t own what’s not my own

Part of letting go, making my heart known

Walking alone, I’ve grown into my own

Free from the chains of what I have known

Circled by dreams that I let go

Finding the strength to say no

To everything I thought was mine

Learning that love can fade with time

Even when it’s shining bright

Love can fade, love takes flight

Hearts break, but they heal

With a clearer view I can reveal

What was lost was meant to teach

In the silence, I can reach

Hearts may break but they will mend

With a clearer sight I transcend

What once was whole, now resigned

From love’s sharp edge, I’ve aligned

You gotta leave some people alone

They think you can’t, but you’ve grown

Chasing gold, losing sight

Of diamonds hidden in the night

Sometimes the biggest wins are unseen

In the quiet, lives what’s pristine

Walking alone, I’ve grown into my own

Free from the chains of what I have known

Circled by dreams that I let go

Finding the strength to say no

To everything I thought was mine

Learning that love can fade with time

Even when it’s shining bright

Love can fade, love takes flight

Hearts break, but they heal

With a clearer view I can reveal

What was lost was meant to teach

In the silence, I can reach

Learning that love can fade away

Even when it’s in full display

Walking my path, silent and strong

In the quiet, I belong
