A Narrow Path

I've walked along a narrow path
with only room for one.
The trees are thick
the branches hang, I cannot see the sun.

I've walked alone in darkness
no one to comfort me.
Theres no one here to talk to
no one to set me free.

I've been content to hide here
it's the only life I've known.
No one has shown me different
I've always felt alone.

One day as I was walking
I stumbled to the ground.
No one could hear my suffering
I didn't make a sound.

The pain was so unbearable
I wanted it to end
But what I didn't realise...
all I needed was a friend.

From out of nowhere came a voice
I could hear it loud and clear.
I rose to see my savior
but he was nowhere near.

"I'm here" he said "I'm here for you...
put your trust in me."
"Let down your guard, believe again
and love will set you free."

I start to walk, the path is long
but now I see a light.
I know one day I'll reach the end
and things will be alright.
