Lyrics
Among the mist I see a stretching path,
reaches out so far, beyond what I can see
How far would I be walking 'til I reach the end,
the end of the path that's to be seen?
I would keep thinking and questioning to myself
why do I have to walk this path, oh why?
I can't seem to find the real meaning to this
path that I take,
fate to accept, and my goal seems
so far away
So tell me why I'm here and what's the reason I am here today
If I recall it was you, you wished that I would stay
No matter how much wind will blow against me I will keep on, oh oh
I will keep moving on, to find the answer too
I'm lost in search for you
I'm tired from the constant carry on shouting that I can't see a way ahead
The words would fill the mist so gently in the air,
and it melts as time just passes by
When I look back there is no trace of my path
I cannot find my way to the past
And it's just too late, time has elapsed
there's only now that goes on here on out,
my eyes see ahead
So tell me why I'm here and what's the reason I am here today
If I recall it was you, you wished that I would stay
No matter how much wind will blow against me I will keep on, oh oh
I will keep moving on, to find the answer too
I'm lost in search for you
When you stop and look ahead and face up to the blue above
The Jacob's ladder will come down and check me up
If I could climb up to the top, would you be waiting at the top?
Will this mean, I search no more?
I'll try and reach for the ladder that's there
Far away the distance I hear the voices
Was this what I've expected I don't even know, oh oh
Is this the real me I've longed for, wish that was the case
I know I'll let go of the ladder that's there
I’ll start walking from this point on...
I'm not here at all, I don't exist here at all
I gotta search for me
I wish that I will find myself soon
I need to find myself, myself
