A MAN APART

A MAN APART

Whether we walk together 
Or I walk alone
Destiny calls, and my answer is yes

To face the mountain’s height 
Or plow the blizzard sea
To journey on coals of fire 
I am committed to my beliefs 

Call the sun in its fury 
Let the thunder speak his piece 
Summon the wind from the four corners 
I am committed to my beliefs

Stand along the roadways 
Stare into my tired eyes 
Condemn my hope to achieve greatness 
I remain committed to my beliefs 

History will record my footsteps 
Time shall edge my name 
Your doubts and condemnation shall vanish 
But my commitment will forever live.

Wilford Barker.

“To journey on coals of fire 
I am committed to my beliefs”…
now, that’s some commitment! 
And I am committed in always doing a fair comment. This is really good, Wilford. It has a meaning, 
it flows and it’s also very positive.
Good work, man.
