Lyrics Old Rivers' Trunk - Walter Brennan

I still have too long a life ahead
Just to give up and drop all of these dreams
I just want to try and fix all the things that I've left undone

I thought that I could reach
Something carried over I saw within my dreams
And yet I stumble on all my actions on this road
That's in front of me

It's not like I want things to go back to the way before
All I want is to open my eyes and feel the sun
Don't let them see that you're afraid
No, don't make a face
And, no, you can't let them know you want them
To pity you

You can't let every single sin end with tears
Wear them proudly on your sleeve along with your fears
It's like your waiting for someone to draw near
In a maze of emotion

There comes a day where you find a way to escape
A blank page, now I'm writing out my own fate
I've grown tired of running away from a thing called reality

And I will scream from the top of my lungs
I'm living to fulfill my hopes
(Can you hear me?)
I'm not longer taking the safer way out of anything
(We'll never go back home)
I'll always find strength from those who will help me
They'll always be there by my side
(I'm on my way)
The hope for tomorrow
Will help me ease all my pain today
