I'm on my way



"I'm On My Way"
(My Amenable Redemption)

(1st Verse )
A benevolent soul is tryin'
to rise above the din
Just to feel lost forever
but you were listenin'

(2nd Verse)
Caught up in the momentum
in the indifference of our sins
This soul will go on cryin'
until the bitter end

(Chorus)
But I'm safe now, from myself
Thanks to you, and your help
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

(3rd Verse)
My mortal remains debate me
in the blaze of awakenings
A fading ember awaits to be
the spark of my cinders fate

(4th Verse)
I long to depart now
please make me a child again
My life began at the end and shall
show me this price I paid

(Chorus)
But I'm safe now, from myself
Thanks to you, and your help
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

(5th Verse)
I'm deep in the plight of my souls vow
to find solace in my resolve
My journey has no end now
a temperate manner now takes hold

(6th Verse)
Attempts to lift this dark cloud
lest serenity my rationale
Morality of the heart shall
bust my ever encumbering shroud

(Chorus)
Now I'm safe now, from myself
Thanks to you, and your help
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

(7th Verse)
Passion towards understanding
how that I got here
A renewed wisdom consoling
how I cower from my fears

(8th Verse)
Omitted my formative years now
replaced with blind despair
Colored by my disdain and how
I endeavored to persevere

(Chorus)
So I'm safe now, from myself
Thanks to you, and your help
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

(9th Verse *1st Verse Reprise*)
A benevolent soul is tryin'
to rise above the din...
