The lonely warrior s way

It’s Saturday’s morning
And I smoke my pipe
Alone and empty
I feel inside
And another training
I’m gonna hold today
- That’s the lonely warrior’s way

I see faces
Familiar and not
Breath of the fire –
Pipe’s getting hot
I want to scream,
I want to drink cream
I want to get lost in this smoke and do not

I run and walk.
I sit and talk
Nothing is real and
Sometimes I feel
That it is all an illusion –
Leads me into confusion
It’s another day –
The lonely warrior’s way

I make another pipe –
I have to make another step
This day will be gone
And I’ll feel that I’ve won
Another day
Of lonely warrior’s way
 
And there’ll be the sun
And there’ll be the rain
And there’ll be “good morning”
And there’ll be no pain
And I’ll make a step
And another one
And I’ll make this day
Like the peanut’s done

And the fire will raise
And the ice will breathe
I will get through
Even without you
Through another day –
Of lonely warrior’s way…
