I still have fight in me
I wipe the dirt from my hands And lay down my tools to rest for a moment I look back at the lonely way I came There were others out there working We traded sorrows and strength From time to time And now I can see Gravesides Hospital beds Lovely families Work yet undone It is hard to imagine that where I am Was not a figment of my imagination Was not just a longing To do something meaningful To leave a way where there was none I begin to wonder if I have done enough To clear a way through Plant enough trees for shade Dig enough pools for water I don’t want anyone else to have this struggle Before me is another mountain Another treacherous terrain If I am honest I don’t know how much farther I can go I am tired The load I have been carrying is heavy on me I feel frayed around the edges Worn Lonely Across the fields and mountains around me I can see others coming Burning down the systems that block their way Building beautiful sanctuaries where the rubble used to be I can see them The fury and exhaustion Their weariness Their iron will I can see their pain intermingled with light and Joy I hear them And it is like a drumbeat that echoes through my veins We are connected Comrades in this journey We reach out hands to each other We share our struggle and strength Nourish each other The heaviness lifts A peace descends An energy ignites Then I am left alone again I am not lonely I am tired I still have fight in me
