All Roads

Lyrics

When I was a younger man The viper world was in my hands Everything seemed like it was for now Open doorways that I'd find Impressive heights for me to climb And confident that I'd prevail somehow All the pieces into place The look of passion on my face To take the chance to be part of a whole With endless promise in front of me On such a path to destiny Whoever thought that I would lose control If I were a smarter man With better grip from helping hands Would any of this differently unfold? From up and down and left to right I didn't always have the sight Did I end up so blind by being bold? When true emotion has no end Enemies made from my friends When true intentions have all gone astray When senseless pride prevents your mind From knowing what to seek and find As quickly fortune comes it goes away [Chorus] Carrying the weight Of a thousand memories Drowning in the sea of yesterday Trudging through the dark Hoping to get back my time To the very end of what remains Now that I'm an older man And life's no longer in my hands I sit and wonder where I'll go from here Abandoned by the ones I've known I've harvested what I have sown And feeling like the end is drawing near So what will be my legacy? What you'll remember about me? Was I a mark of honor or a fool? And as the curtain starts to fall I wonder was it worth it all The ending of this story is so cruel The story's over The happy ending was an illusion It's all behind me now And nowhere left to go
