Can I?

In the frosty dusk of dawn I hold my breath In trepidation, poised upon the brink Of one more dark and desperate day I see a glimpse of gold beyond the clouds And, at the edge of sight A shadow sloftly slink away Have I still the courage? Can I still step bold into that spotlight? Can I lift my head and take the blame? Can I look you in the eye And tell you what you should have known? Can I forget and close the door? Can I walk away once more? In the frosty dusk of dawn The phantoms fly And waking, shellshocked, from a heady sea of dreams To this young, as yet unsullied day It takes a little while to catch my breath And, as my heartbeat slows I wish him well upon his way For I still have the courage I can still step bold into that spotlight I can lift my head and take the blame I can look you in the eye And tell you what you should have known I can forget and close the door I can walk away once more Watch me walk away once more
