I've spent so many years thinking
is this the way it has to be?
A thousand miles tired feet have walked
to search the meaning of what is free.

A minute drags on a hundred years
when you're walking all alone
A thousand miles I've walked again
to find the answers we'll never know.

What have I become?
A loner on a mission
to undo what you have done.

I walked a thousand miles tonight
and cried a million tears this time
I'll never give up on my dream
that one day,
one day we'll be free.

I've seen them age to wither
and watched them wither to die.
And I alone am seeing
the shadows turn and cry.

Spent every day alone thinking
about the future I'll never see
Cause I'll be all alone walking
for the rest of eternity.

What have I become?
A loner on a mission
to undo what you have done.

I walked a thousand miles tonight
and cried a million tears this time
I'll never give up on my dream
that one day,
one day we'll be free.

I walked a thousand miles this year
fought off a million fears
I'm still walkin all alone
and hoping
hoping to end the tears.

A thousand miles on a lonely path
through all these heartless places
too long a life spent searching
across these soulless faces.

They cannot laugh, refuse to cry
their iron hearts shall stay
The sun is dying and tonight
their strength withers away.

What have I become?
A loner on a mission
to undo what you have done.

I walked a thousand miles tonight
and cried a million tears this time
I'll never give up on my dream
that one day,
one day we'll be free.

I walked a thousand miles tonight
and cried a million tears this time
I'll never give up on my dream
that one day,
one day we'll be free.
