Soul searching

A word from father to son.
Be careful where you turn.
Your life has only begun.
There's still so much to learn.

Walking down that lonely road.
God knows it's been too long.

And when the damage is done,
Just let those bridges burn.

I tried to follow my heart
To set my spirit free.
But I found out from the start
It wasn't meant to be.

Two souls that drifted apart
Still it keeps haunting me.
