遠征

By Dear Jane

一念 奔向天國
一念 墮回地獄
信念 掙扎中兜轉
經驗 過渡萬年
嘴臉 分秒的變
際遇 屢遇上失眠
而逐寸逐寸 歷盡萬辛找不到樂園
路到盡處 要怎打算
還要走多遠 還要兜多圈
離目標很遠 才驟覺理想也講生存
疲又倦 光陰似箭
花光了血 補不了缺
學會所謂那灑脱 反失方寸
生活 終算不錯
收穫 足夠笙歌
意義 竟覺得不多
想念 執過寶劍
考驗 一寸執意
掛念 信奉過堅持
如逐寸逐寸 茫茫浮生經得起陸沉
何以自怨 腳邊積雪
還要走多遠 還要兜多圈
離目標很遠 才驟覺理想也講生存
疲又倦 光陰似箭
花光了血 補不了缺
但我享受這虛脱 出於心血
儘管差距就算攀山涉水
直到氣數也都早已盡了 我該粉碎
能挨下去 難面對 是心虛
還要走多遠 還要兜多圈
唯獨這種遠 源自我愛跟理想周旋
凌又亂 只差半寸
我未完全 雙腳未斷
亦要守住這一寸 一息不斷
不甘志短 走出深淵
