On My Way (Walking Through New Orleans) Lyrics

I am on my way

I can still find my way

Out of the ordinary

Back into the fray

Gonna take some of that comfort

Gonna cast it aside

Slip out of the jacket

Step all the way outside

A little wind at my back

To help me through the sorrow

So I ration it to last me through tomorrow

I am on my way

Through the storm and the swell

As for the destination,

It's too early to tell

There ain't no island of solace

Ain't no river of trust

Ain't no poetry to this life baby

We only do what we must

And I cannot stem the tide

I can only stand in wonder

So I grab a hold so it won't pull me under

I am breathing different air now

Got a swagger in my stride

I am walking through New Orleans

The mighty river at my side

But New Orleans bears the scars now

In its shape and in its form

When just the threat of rain reminds her

Of the memories of the storm

Gonna take all that I am

Take all that I was

Gonna pull myself together

Build the right kind of buzz

Take all of my love

Take all of my sins

Ain't no use trying to polish up the mess that I've been

But I will be better

I will be better

I'll be better than I was the day before
