You’re carrying a fragile fire
To light the cold dark night
In a world obsessed with shades of grey
Your life is simply black & white
And everywhere you go
You feel the echoes of your past
Spirits reaching out to you
‘Cross bridges burned & dies miscast
Down that endless road
The highway never used to be
Such a solitary trail
But now it’s littered with the blown out hopes
Of all the ones who failed
To live up to the expectations
Defined by arrogance & vanity
That chewed them up & spit them out
So systematically
Down that endless road
And now you’re on that road alone
Without a lover or a friend
And there is nothing you would not give
To have either one back again
We all create our own destiny
And we can always change our fate
Though the thin white line that guides us
Never knows when it’s too late
Down that endless road
Tomorrow is a brand new day
Like every day til the end of time
You’ll still have many miles to go
And many mountains yet to climb
And though the cascading mysteries
May always tempt and torture you
You will never lose your desire to see
That elusive dream come true
Down that endless road
