I’m walkin’ down the road, got the chains weighing me down,
Every step I take, I feel these shadows all around.
Raindrops fallin', mixin’ with the tears I’ve tried to hide,
The harmony of heartache, it's a storm I can’t abide.
Oh, the soul that's been battered, it’s searchin’ for the light,
In the midnight hour, I’m haunted by the night.
Redemption is a whisper, on the edges of my mind,
But the road keeps on stretchin’, and I’m feelin’ so confined.
There’s a voice in the wind, tryin’ to guide me along,
But the weight of all these memories has made my spirit strong.
In the rain I keep on walkin’, every drop a brand-new scar,
With the shadows as my company, I’m never very far.
So I dance with my burdens, let the thunder roll my fate,
Oh, but somewhere in the distance, I can hear the music wait.
If I play my blues with purpose and let my heart ignite,
Maybe I’ll find that harmony that’ll carry me tonight.
With every note I’m playin’, I shed a piece of pain,
And I find a little freedom in these blues that’s like the rain.
So I’ll walk this road in sorrow, let the storm take me whole,
Until I find the daylight, and the freedom for my soul.
The chains may still be heavy, but they won't hold me down,
I’m breaking free from shadows, as I move from town to town.
In the echo of my footsteps, I’ll find peace on this road,
With the raindrops as my witness, I’ll lighten up this load.
