lyrics

The Road Seldom Traveled

I know for sure that I haven’t learned a thing in all these years
And I run and run and run but I’ll never outrun my fears

The road seldom traveled takes courage and strength
Where even blue skies are waiting to rain
On top of every mountain is only a staircase
That leads to a new starting line

And my words only fall far below

You’re the queen of the green I’m the king of the blue
I’ve laid down my weapons and kneel before you
And I’m not going back ever again no I’m not going back

I know for sure that I’m broken, but I’m true
And I run and run and run but I’ll never break on through

The road seldom traveled won’t be found by chance
It’s where jokers and fighters shake hands
Where the sun and the moon wear the same face
And you’ll never look back again - Oh, you’ll never look back again
