Lyrics
Road Less Traveled
My moment of clarity
Escaped from a fantasy
A break to reality
Out of the valley that I've been in
Question the purpose
Assemble your guards and liberators
Hide every passion
To seek out a safe and comfortable world
But I didn't know
and I couldn't care
I couldn't tell
I figured it's just as well
Awaken the rowdy ones
Who will take you places you'd never ever go
Shake them and prod them on
Rouse the rabble forever more
But make them commit to you
To never let go of you
Until it's over and through
And then they come for you
I didn't know if the sun would rise tomorrow
I couldn't tell if the road would guide my feet
I couldn't see that the path that was less traveled
Was lying in front of me but I was to plain to see
So ride to the setting sun
It seems it's over before it's begun
I used to hide and run
That takes time from the very special ones
But I wouldn't share
Cause I couldn't care
I woudn't see
The love that's in front of me
So sing to your children
Give them a voice that's so strong
Get them to sing along
And they'll love you forever long
I didn't know if the sun would rise tomorrow
I couldn't tell if the road would guide my feet
I wouldn't see that the road that was less traveled
Was lying in front of me
But I was too plain to see
Every thing that was me
Everyone else can see
