destination unknown... Destination Unknown

destination unknown
taking steps in no particular direction
uncertainty like a fog fills the air
can't make out anything on the road ahead
the fog is bright
a blinding source of light somewhere ahead
my shadow follows, recalling my past
clear and faded memories alive in his mind
transmitting the emotions to my heart
bounding with anxiety and love
filling this world with an unequalled power
in the souls I've come a-cross
standing on a hill with two companions
suffering for forgiveness
showing that our conscience is right
follow it and be whole
inside my mind lie the answers
locked away
Pandora, who holds the key?
the hope that keeps me alive
an equal with the troubles of the world
but everything is sacred
learn it all and you can take on and save the world
I keep an open mind as I struggle on
towards the bright light source
an unknown distance away
but I stab ever on
my emotions driving me forward
towards the light
and I am strong
