The Road
Mary Beth Maziarz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everybody dreams of a house on a hill
And a prince who ignites with his touch
Everybody dreams it, but no one believes it
Believes they deserve quite so much
Look around the lost and found inside you
It's all there at your feet, all that you need
Just go... 'cause oh don't you know...
If it's cold enough rain turns to snow
And everything starts to just slow down
Don't give up now you're so close
You've got to just stay on the road
Once upon a time, was it clear in your mind
The path to adventure and gold
Did you start to lose it in stumbles and bruises
Now just when you need it the most
Take the time to look far behind you
Sometimes home, sheds a light that you need as you roam

Take it and go... 'cause oh don't you know...
If it's cold enough rain turns to snow
And everything starts to just slow down
Oh don't turn back now you're so close
You've got to just stay on the road
Dark and muddy paths each way you turn
There's no light in the distance
All those voices you've heard ring mad in your ears
All you feel is resistance
But then it goes quiet and clear
Cause deep down you know
When it's cold enough rain turns to snow
And everything starts to just flow
Cause somehow life lightens your load
And gives you back all that you know, you know
Destiny shows you the way




You've got to just stay...
On the road
