A Long Hard Road

Lyrics

Listen, oh traveller, gather your mind Lay down your burdens, ignore the signs Loosen your grasp and love just the same Life is a gift, not something you tame

It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long hard road… That leads to the end

You long for the lovely, turn from the pain Build castles from sand and hope they remain You plot and you plan, leave nothing to chance What feels like a loss is part of the dance

It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long hard road… That leads to the end

The boots that I wear are worn to the sole My stride has grown soft with miles to go Again and again, I asked the gods, "Why?" The lack of an answer is the truest reply

It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long hard road… That leads to the end

It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long (Long) It’s a long hard road… That leads to the end
