The Road to El Dorado

On the road to El Dorado,
Paved with broken glass and sorrow.
Miles to roam 'til tomorrow,
A path you do not follow,
Just a stop along a broken dream.

The journey is long and weary,
Each step is heavy, each breath dreary.
The horizon seems far and unclear,
With darkness and despair so near.
Yet hope still lingers like a faint beam.

The trials and tribulations take their toll,
As fear and doubt consume your soul.
But still you press on, one foot in front of the other,
Hoping that the path leads to another,
A brighter destination than it may seem.

The road to El Dorado is not for the faint of heart,
It tears you apart and rips you apart.
But those who endure will find a hidden treasure,
A glimmer of hope and a new-found pleasure,
That will make the journey worthwhile, it would seem.

So don't give up, don't give in to the pain,
For on the road to Eldorado, there is much to gain.
A new perspective, a strengthened resolve,
A heart that's more compassionate and involved,
And a sense of purpose that will make your heart beam.

The road to El Dorado may be paved with sorrow,
But those who persevere will find a brighter tomorrow.
So take heart, dear traveler, and keep moving on,
For the journey is worth it, and the end will come,
A destination that's more than just a dream.
