I have to keep on walking

I have to keep on walking
I have to keep on walking
the voices keep on stalking
I have to keep on walking

I tore my soul
and searched for more
the silence
it was haunting

I have to keep on walking
I have to keep on walking

and this foul wind
may never carry
the secrets of my longing

I have to keep on walking
I have to keep on walking

earth laid bare
men laid bare
barren prophets crowing

I have to keep on walking
I have to keep on walking

a girl I once knew
in days gone by
did to me whisper softly

“why must you keep on walking?
please cease your walking.”

amid raging winds
and thunder hard
fast and ever rolling

I had to keep on walking
I must keep on walking.
