I chose this road years ago
When the skies were blue and clear
I chose this road years ago
When that mountain still seemed like a hill
Though I've lost count now
Of the times I lay awake at night just wondering
Though I've lost count now
Of the times I felt myself to be just meandering
I chose this road years ago
And though not much has really gone my way
I chose this road years ago
And it's far too late to change
Though I've lost count now
Of the times I felt myself to be walking into nothingness
Though I've lost count now
Of the times I felt myself to be
Walking into paradise
I chose this road years ago for better or for worse
I chose this road years ago
When my eyes were wide with wonder
I chose this road years ago
When my head was full of storms and stress
Though I've lost count now
Of the times I felt myself to be just like the pouring rain
Though I've lost count now
Of the times I felt myself to be just like the morning mist
I chose this road years ago for better or for worse
