New Roots

Caught in the shadow, lost in the game

Thought I was on top, but it all slipped away

Had my dreams stacked high, reaching for the sky

Build my empire, never thought I’d say goodbye

But the tables turned faster than I could understand

Lost it all, now I gotta find a new stand

Fallen from grace, trying to find my way

Lessons learned the hard way, yesterday

Kids and man, they watched it all fade

Now I’m searching for a new family to save

When the tables turn, and you thought you had it made

Lonely streets echo, promises betrayed

Gotta find someone else to hold me through

A new family, a new chance to break through

Broken pieces on the floor, trying to rebuild

Heart out of the game, trying to forget the thrill

Walking solo, but I’m still alive

Looking for the next in line to survive

Turned around, new roads to choose

Won’t let the past define the hues

Looking for tomorrow, brighter than before

In new family roots, I’ll soar once more
