Please

Please don't make me,
Into something,
That you know I am not...
And please don't make,
Light of me,
And all the wars I've fought...

Please shut your mouth,
And try to,
Understand just who I am
Please listen to me,
And I'll try to,
Change your life if I can

Down this road...
Down this road so long!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
Down this road...
Miles and miles I still go on!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
I'm not lost...
No, I am not alone!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
Down this road...
Down this road I continue on...

Please learn the lessons,
That I know,
Life has to teach...
You can always,
Rise above,
Nothing is out of reach...

Please don't judge me,
For what I say,
I'm simply stating my case,
That there's no need,
For you,
To suffer this way!

Down this road...
Down this road so long!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
Down this road...
Miles and miles I still go on!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
I'm not lost...
Nor am I alone!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me)
Down this road...
Down this road I continue on...

I continue on!

I walk through the dust...
The passage of those,
Who came before...

I see the truth,
Etched in the ground,
I lift my head,
I can hear the sound...

Of my heart beating...

So listen to me,
As I go on,
I will steer you right,
I will never...!
Turn you wrong!

Down this road...
Down this road so long!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me!)
Down this road...
Miles and miles I still go on!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me!)
I'm not lost...
Nor am I alone!
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me!)
(Please don't hate me, don't forsake me!)
Down this road...
Down this road I continue on...

Will you please...
Please walk with me...?
