im walking very slowly along this path through the trees
watching sunlight dancing with the gentle breeze
i used to run and skip, just stopping to pick flowers
embrace the loving heat, and welcome April showers
i loved to run along, alive and full of glee
but suddenly i stumbled, tripped and skinned my knee
then the showers turned heavy, rosebuds began to die
beauty turing ugly, i didnt know why
i tried to limp along the stony route
a tear within my soul, a blister on my foot
boulders, branches, holes, its hard to see the way
i used to love this path; i no longer want to stay
im walking very slowly, my blister hurts too much
i want to stop and stand still, and never have to touch
it hurts too much to walk, i want eternal sleep
i lay myself among the leaves for the forest to keep
