The sweat is pouring

Coming from a man who once was soaring

He has landed with a crash in an unknown land

There is heat and there is sand

He Keeps Going

The hope is leaving

Leaving with every footstep as the man is conceiving

How much longer he can go

His own mind as turned it is now his foe

He Keeps Going

The oasis is coming

Just ahead he sees salvation

He begins a stammering run

His eyes have fallen to the curse of the sun

He Keeps Going

The man is thinking

He always wanted to be put in this situation

To live through such horror

His life and everything he knows seems pointless

He Keeps Going

The sun is falling

Salvation is such a thing as the night

The man believes he is saved and it seems to be so

But the man knew not that night is a double agent

He Keeps Going

The night is chilling

The mans hair stands on end

Because of the dark, deceitful night

He sees light finally, light

He Keeps Going

The light is piercing

The night lets the light shine through

The mans hope is rekindled

Even though the light is far off in the distance

He Keeps Going

The sun is rising

The man dreads the light that comes

He is surprised at his hearts ability to carry on

The heat begins to set in

He Keeps Going

The eyes are failing

The sun is blinding the location of salvation

The sweat returns and still he has no water

He slows down

He Keeps Going

The man is dying

He has lost track of his instincts of survival

Lost like a house in a fire

The man sees a tall man standing

He Keeps Going

The newcomer is waiting

He is a man in a suit standing there waiting

Like someone might for a friend

The newcomer showed the man something he would not believe

He Can’t Keep Going

He just keeps staring

His lifeless body lay there limp

There was nothing left for him here

The newcomer grasped the mans arm it all disappeared

He Kept Going
