The Journey (ft. Eleanor Forte)

The latter half of 2019 into the first part of 2020 was a difficult time for me. I wrote "The Journey" as both a reminder to myself and a message to others that no matter what happens, everything is going to be fine. You may not know where you're going, but as long as you're moving, that's progress. Keep going! And, don't be afraid to get help. You're worth helping.

The cover art and lyric video for this song are inspired by the United States road signs. Since we're all going on a "journey", it seemed fitting to mimic what you see on the road.

Lyrics

Beaten up
broken down
Life has a way of throwing you around
I'm a captain
Ship's run aground
Battered by the waves of fear that push to have you drowned

There are days when I never even feel like opening the door
Shame and ambition sing a twisted duet
But the countless punches tossed at me to break my spirit's core
They haven't stopped me yet

I'll keep the journey going
I'll fight this fight again
Beyond where weaker me would stop
And finally reach the end
Take one more shot of courage
Never looking back
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on the right track

New horizons
Uncharted land
It's all a little more than I had planned
A little nervous
A racing mind
Every bit is worth it just to leave the past behind

Staying focused on the days ahead is difficult sometimes
Time gone by reminds me of who I used to be
But who I was and who I am are singing different rhymes
And that's okay with me

I'll keep the journey going
I'll fight this fight again
Beyond where weaker me would stop
And finally reach the end
Take one more shot of courage
Never looking back
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on the right track

I'll keep the journey going
I'll fight this fight again
Beyond where weaker me would stop
And finally reach the end
Take one more shot of courage
Never looking back
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on the right track
