Wayfinder

I walked through the valley of time
My life, she stood by my side
I hoped to never leave her behind
But when I looked back she was gone

Long now have I clung to a hope
That I'll someday return to that place
Warm arms for a heart growing cold
And a voice to remember my name

In the tales of my youth I would marvel in awe
As a hero would conquer the day
The dark would dispel as they battle through hell
And their light would show them the way

In my journey of life no hero am I
I will falter and fail every day
When the dark overcomes me, and I stand ashamed
Still a hero to her I remain

In the times of my sorrow I am not alone
And her heart will guide me home
If I fall on my knees she finds courage in me
This is love and I have to believe

At the end of my days when I lay my head down
As the light and my hair start to fade
With a smile in my eyes looking back I can say
In my hope I was never afraid
