This is a song about my lonely upbringing without a helping hand. I found a solace in music and my friends.
lyrics
days were still,
a storm brewed over this hill,
with no hand to hold and a light to guide,
found a shelter only to hide,
your custodian presence so rare,
yet I never ceased to care,
some passed, some remained,
you were always on my mind as I walked this independent route,
Independent route, to the older and newer places
Independent route, I'll never forget those faces
back and forth this home, that home
like a pendulum I've moved to and fro,
tears and smiles like sides of a coin
tossed and caught by hands but mine
this whistling wind, it whispered my name
door had opened like an invitation
I didn't but it did find me, so I walked this independent route
Independent route, to the older and newer places
Independent route, I'll never forget those faces
oh I could count them all,
with them came music and only stark silence once they left
