The price you pay

Sit by the road, watch it stretch
The end is never in view
Your weary legs may start screaming
It is the price you pay

What is there to do while waiting?
Soon the sun will come to fetch
Draped in a dark veil
There’s comfort in a new day

For the answers that you seek
For clarity on your visions to etch
A reading map
Go on your knees and pray

To understand how these roads stretch
That somehow you find your niche.
