Balance of Time

The path I have chosen

Pursuing a light out of reach

Responsibilities frozen

Empty words I have preached

Illusions I preserve

To continue in this world

Set the stage to speak the page

The thorn in my side turns

Strive to be

Even through adversity

Obstacles I have to climb

Searching for the balance of time

Guilt when I’m away

Guilt when I’m home

What’s desired, unreal

The life of those who roam

Dedication, sacrifice

It’s all taking its toll

It's not what it used to be

I have to justify this role

Strive to be

Even through adversity

Obstacles I have to climb

Searching for the balance of time

Balance of time

I'm losing my mind

Unable to breathe

The world I cannot leave

Balance of time

Strive to be

Even through adversity

Obstacles I have to climb

Searching for the balance of time
