Open road lyrics

My life, is extraordinary bare,

I fought the fear and chased the pain.

My life, doesn't need to be explained,

I chose to walk the line as one.

Sometimes, as I live upon my island,

Cut off from emotion and its pain.

That's when, I am tempted by the waters,

Waters that can take me far away.

Chorus

So I'll just keep on walking down this open road,

Hoping someone, somewhere needs me.

So I'll just keep on walking down this open road,

Talking to the man who knows me,

Yes he knows me, the man is me.

My life, was once full of people's faces,

Brought to me by love, which isn't strange.

My life, had the goodness of blue waters,

A day's a day for all I used to say.

Sometimes, I can sit and cry my heart out,

Drowning in my autocratic ways.

That's when, I am tempted by the waters,

Waters that can take me far away.

Repeat Chorus

My life, is now full of people's faces,

Within the light of change I pulled away.

My life, shows that no man is an island,

I've exchanged the piece of life I cut away.

Now you won't see me walking down that open road,

I've found someone now who needs me.

No, you won't see me walking down that open road,

I've found at last the man who knows me.

Yes, he knows me and the man was me, the man was me.
