Own Path

No, and I don't want too.
Spread your wings, and take me home.
You're not something I belong too.
But, you're all I've ever known.

Catch my breath, and catch me wondering.
Take my hands, they are so cold.
You may leave me here with nothing.
But it's the path that's all my own.

I'm not scared and I'm not crying.
I can't stop, and I can't go.
There's a mist that wisps behind me,
but it's a comfort, it's your ghost.

So please follow close behind me,
But let me go at this alone.
I need faith and I need wisdom,
But I must do this on my own.
