[Verse 1]
Uh, as I walk through the valley of shadow of death
Thinking that I could ride solo without any sort of help
But I’m wrong this road is not for a hermit
In fact I’m supposed to be traveling with a loyal community pack
But a lone wolf can’t accept the fellowship so soon
So instead he goes out and cries out towards the moon
I know people might say he taking the care for granted
Until they really figure me out hopefully they’ll understand it
That I might’ve not grown up in the those dark ghetto streets
But the somber rain in the Emerald still makes my heart weep
Baby feet on the rough path, I got welcomed into the soil
Born in November and as a child crawled through December
Enemies give me pain, they should be blamed
Gonna make sure they pay, burdens get heavier from day to day
Thought this task of being a follower and disciple would be easy
Reality is the faith walk is not for the faint-hearted
I feel so weak, giving in into all sorts things
Momentary satisfaction leads towards my suffering
Fishhooks with apple bait, heading the forked-tongues
Now I can’t breathe because of all the sins in my lungs
Jesus I can’t keep up, please wait up for me
But it would be even better if you could just walk beside me
I’ve been through enough tough times throughout my life
Now I understand that I need you, to be in my life

[Hook]
The mist in the trail covers up my eyes
I can’t seem to view the light
I say I can do it fine all alone, but really
I’m scared out my anxious mind
Up ahead in the journey there are monsters in the night
But the dark blocks em from my sight
But I know for as long my God is with me
Everything is gonna be alright

[Verse 2]
The world denies it, but living is survival
There are obstacles, traps, dead ends, and rivals
Sick of this cage, been in the dark for too long
Walking through the valley with only the power of my songs
I might not be weak, but I surely don’t have hope
If the Lord ain’t with me, cause my God offers me the rope
Fall down on the floor, get back up stronger than before
Keep coming back for more even though my body’s sore
Yeah The Lord is my strength, The Lord is my coach
And as long as he’s with me there ain’t nothing I can’t approach
Haters, doubters, and unbelievers give me the ambition I have
Friends, supporters, and believers give me the passion I have
Now I just gotta rely on this candle within the eclipse
That’s the only true thing that will supply me on my trip
To have a creative mind so anxious it’s easy to conceive
Of a fantasy life, that awaits you in the near future
Father help me get out I’m a addicted fiend
You give me true dreams instead of my worthless dreams
I don't wanna live, I don't wanna breathe
Unless I feel you next to me, you take the pain I feel
Waking up to you never felt so real, I don't wanna sleep
I don't wanna dream, cause my dreams don't comfort me
The way you make me feel, waking up to you never felt so real
Evil cannot bring destruction upon me with you as my shield
My listeners might think I’m just saying empty words
But for the record I’m saying what’s deep down in my soul
Here I am unsure of what the road might hold
Only know it’s somewhere with a weather that’s burning cold
Good and bad experiences from the past, I call it history
Now I live for The King’s legacy, gonna share history
Continuing my journey, I can’t really see clear
But with the Creator on my side, I have nothing to fear

[Hook x2]
