Knight In Shining Armor

I used to be your knight in shining armor

Now I’m a lonely desperado

In a dirt-stained poncho

Whatever happened to the time we spent together

When did it first start to turn

When did I first start to change

When did I become dust stained doomed to wander

When did I stop being the knight

How do I get back there

How do I become that again

How, how, how

Why can’t I seem to find my path

Back to where I came from

Maybe the path is lost

Mayhaps I need to forge a new one

But where do I start

How do I find a new path

A new way forward

The dust of this life

Has hit my eyes

It’s hard to see

Through the teary eyes

But onward I’ll forge

I’ve no choice the way backwards is lost

The only way I’ve got left is onwards and upwards

Climbing the mountains of this life

Hoping for a respite from the sands of time

Maybe all is not lost

Maybe you just finally saw my flaws

Maybe you brought them to the forefront of my mind

Maybe that’s where this darned poncho came from

When I emerge from this wasteland through

Which I wander

Will my steel be polished again

Will I again be someone’s knight in shining armor

Or will I be something else

I hope to find out what form I’ll take for someone new

When I finally find them
