🌅 A deeply personal reflection on facing mortality with grace, hope, and the belief that what waits beyond the veil is dawn, not endless night. This gospel-influenced Americana ballad walks through life's final journey with honest vulnerability and spiritual resilience.

Written from the heart of someone "getting up there" - about aging gracefully, life reflection, and finding peace in the unknown. The fusion of soft rock, Americana, and gospel creates a sound that feels like a conversation between old friends about the things that truly matter.

🎶 LYRICS & STORY:

The road grows narrow, and the stones more sharp
My shadow stretches out so long
The sun, once so bright, that warmed my younger days
Now barely hums its song

Each step is a whisper, and each breath a prayer
Through the valleys carved by time
The weight of each of my carried years
Now slows down this rhythm's rhyme

But now I'm walking the last mile home
Walking through the twilight's fading gold
I pass the time with the ghosts of summer laughter
And remember the stories that I told

Now I'm walking the last mile home
Where the unknown darkness meets the light
And I hope that what waits beyond the veil
Is more than just the endless night

The photographs that hang in memory's hall
They grow soft around their edges
My children's merry voices echo back
From our youth's forgotten pledges

The garden that I planted once
Now blooms wild without my care
These hands that built, this heart that loved
Now tremble fragile in the air

The dim morning star grows brighter now
As the dawn begins to break
Or is it the dusk that's falling soft
For heaven's gentle sake?

My footsteps are slow, and my heartbeat fades
Like ripples smoothing on a lake
But still I trust that this final path
Is mine alone to take

Some say there's nothing beyond the door
Just the silence, cold and deep
But I have felt love's tender touch—
That's more than a dreamless sleep

The seeds that I've sown, the love I've shared
Must root deep in sacred ground
And if there's music after all
I pray that I'll be found

But still I'm walking the last mile home
Walking through the twilight's fading gold
I pass the time with the ghosts of summer laughter
And remember the stories that I told

Now I'm walking the last mile home
Where the unknown darkness meets the light
And I believe what waits beyond the veil
Is dawn, not just the endless night

The road ends where it started...
In mystery and in hope
