The Road To My Destination Is Silent Tonight

So much guarantee of success

That as of life

Hangs in the hushed air that dances

Celebrating my strife

Oh the road to my Destination

Is silent tonight

Of memories that catch on

And well up in my eyes

Opaque ghosts of a haunted past

Try and falter my rise

How the road to my Destination

Is silent tonight

Every step that leads to a place

I always wanted to reach

But an obstacle hither, another thither

My dreams as they breach

Well the road to my Destination

Is silent tonight

All those critics and their stories

All their warnings and doubts

Well I just know of this dream

I could never live without

Yet the road to my Destination

Is silent tonight

My hope is my dream, my dream an illusion

As I walk barefoot to an unknown goal

I have to prove all those who mocked me

Of the part I promised was my role

Then why, God, the road to my destination

Is silent tonight

Where is the light, the peak of the Everest

That I restlessly climb

Where is the reward, the win, the victory

After all this time

Evermore is the road to my Destination

Is silent tonight

Lonesome in my belief of a light that must shine

Beyond the horizon I saw then

As I dared to differ, and follow the heart

On a new fork in the road, my journey I began

Still the road to my Destination

Is silent tonight

Is this what it is like to take the road no one uses

The longer path to the goal, to the end

I wonder how populated it must be on the other roads 

No obstacles, nor a bend

For the road to my Destination

Is so silent tonight

The road to my destination

May be silent tonight

But let the darkness pass

And let my toil bear fruit, be bright

For I believe my struggle shall pay back tomorrow

And make my silent road drenched and illuminated by light.
