lost my way

no way back home.

I kept on walking,
again and again,
until I lost the road
I thought I knew so well.

Who gave you the right
to tell me where I belong?
You never walked my road,
so how could you know I'm wrong?

I may lose my way,
but I'm still me.
I may lose the road,
but it calls to me.

If I lose it,
I'll find it again.
No matter how far,
I'll find my way back.

You can call me lost,
you can say I've strayed,
but you don't get to tell me
this was never my way.

This road is still mine.
I'm still me.

I walked that road
before I knew its name.
I chose every step,
and learned from every change.

I made my choices,
I lived with what they brought.
I kept moving forward,
even when I lost the road.

And yes, I lost it,
more than once before,
but something deep inside me
always brought me back to it.

Being lost
doesn't mean I don't belong.
The road may disappear,
but that doesn't mean it's gone.

Who gave you the right
to tell me where I belong?
You never walked my road,
so how could you know I'm wrong?

I may lose my way,
but I'm still me.
I may lose the road,
but it calls to me.

If I lose it,
I'll find it again.
No matter how far,
I'll find my way back.

You can call me lost,
you can say I've strayed,
but you don't get to tell me
this was never my way.

This road is still mine.
I'm still me.

Maybe I'll wander,
maybe I'll fall.
Maybe I'll lose my way
trying to find it all.

But I don't need to know
where this road will end.
I only need to know
I'll find myself again.

I may lose my way,
but I'm still me.
I may lose the road,
but it calls to me.

If I lose it,
I'll find it again.
No matter how far,
I'll keep going till the end.

You can call me lost,
you can say I've strayed,
but you don't get to tell me
that this was never my way.

This road is still mine,
no matter where it leads.
I may lose my way,
but I'll never lose me.

I'm still me.
I'm still here.
And this road is still mine.

I lost my way...

but I never lost myself.
