the road

I returned from a long road beaten I returned from a place unknown I'd taken a chance on something And returned to this place alone It came from a life of living It came from a place of love She said it with kindness holding She said it with someone above She said Boy I pray that your heart will remain Your hope stays the same and you learn from the pain The boy you were and the man you will be Have a bargain to make a wager to see What love will let go in order to take that road I'm here with intentions uncovered I've brought you my healing heart And aside from your fluttery glances You know you know I've been marked by a life of mistrusting I've been weakened by tested resolve In a world that seeks only the truth It shows does it show She said Boy I pray that your heart will remain Your hope stays the same and you learn from the pain The boy you were and the man you will be Have a bargain to make a wager to see What love will let go in order to take that road Don't let it hold you back She said with smile Don't think that it's wrong to voice your heart Remember your soul is searching endlessly You can run from the choices given You can run from the paths they laid You can run out of lust for what's taken But you'll never outrun the love you made your own Because life in fact is a riotous act With no going back for the things you might lack Because life you'll see is grasping at dreams While you're loose at the seams and don't know where it leads When love let's go are you ready to take that road
