I have been you.
I’ve stood where the path disappears.
I’ve watched the light retreat like it owed me nothing.
I’ve whispered to the sky and heard no reply.
But I kept walking.
And something walked with me.
The forest was quiet, but not kind.
Branches reached like questions I couldn’t answer.
The sun had left without a warning,
and the shadows moved like they had purpose.
I looked up for stars, but the sky was empty.
No moon, no map, no mercy.
I stepped where the ground felt unsure.
The wind carried voices I didn’t recognize.
I thought about turning back,
but the way behind me had vanished.
I closed my eyes and whispered the word I always say—
not loud, not proud, just true.
I trust you now to care for me
when I don’t know what care looks like.
I trust you to take my hand
even when I don’t reach for it.
I trust you to lead me where I ought to be,
not where I planned to go.
I’ve followed maps that betrayed me.
I’ve chased light that never stayed.
I’ve stood in storms that didn’t ask my name
but still knew how to shake me.
I’ve walked through dust that clung like memory
and left me changed.
You don’t need to shout to be heard.
You don’t need to shine to be seen.
You don’t need to prove you’re real—
you just need to stay when I fall.
I’ve learned that faith isn’t loud.
It’s the quiet step forward when nothing feels certain.
I’ve been the man who doubted the dawn.
I’ve been the voice that questioned the silence.
I’ve been the one who asked for signs
and missed the ones already given.
But I’ve also been the one who kept walking
because something inside said “go.”
The forest didn’t change, but I did.
The night didn’t end, but I found light.
The path didn’t appear, but I moved forward.
The dust didn’t clear, but I breathed through it.
I didn’t find the answer—
but I found the one who walks with me.....the one... who walks... with me......

Storm and Dust written by Edwin H. Balder

Словно осенью, падают листья
Так и года наши быстро уходят,


As in autumn, the leaves fall
So our years quickly pass,

НАШИ ГОДЫ    /    OUR YEARS

Lyrics
Should've known, should've known
Exactly what she was saying.
She didn't know, didn't know
How much attention he was paying
He was distracted by
Something else that crossed his mind.

So she went up to him and said "What's the problem, boy?"
And he said, "Sorry ma'am but I was busy.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Many years went by
She was the girl he always wanted
She never noticed his mind
Was the place she always haunted
She was distracted by every other guy around

So he went up to her and said, "Babe, won't you be mine?"
And she said, "Sorry, honey. You must be.."

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

What was he supposed to do?
When everyone around him never really knew
Exactly what he was going through.
He was a victim of fantasy
It took more than 'being a man' to see
Just what a dreamer could do
But he never knew that

There he was, there he was
And all the people stood before him
He strummed his guitar 
And all the people, they screamed for him
He never thought that he'd be loved for
Just what he did best

So when he sang, he sang about 
All that he'd been through
And he blamed it on the fact that
All he was really good at was

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

Dreaming
Dreaming
Dreaming

He was busy
Dreaming 
Dreaming
Dreaming

Dreaming
