Story Behind The Song

When the road gets tough, do you turn around, or keep going?

Song Description

When the road gets tough, do you turn around, or keep going?

Lyrics

Standing at the crossroads where the pavement ends
Gravel turns to whispers that the forest sends
My footsteps echo questions in the morning light
Should I chase the shadows or retreat from sight?

The road behind me's worn and known
Every mile, I've called my own
But ahead the asphalt disappears
Into a maze of hopes and fears

Do I keep on going down the road ahead?
Where mysteries are calling and stories spread
Or turn around, take the safer way?
Miss the chance to find what waits today
There's magic in the distance, wanting to be found
But what if I break down?
Do I keep on going down the road ahead?

Engine idling softly where the highway bends
Maps can't show the secrets that the horizon sends
My headlights cut through questions in the fading light
Should I chase the distance or retreat from sight?

The path behind me's worn and known
Every stone, I've called my own
But ahead the trail just disappears
Into a maze of hopes and fears

Do I keep on walking down this unknown road?
Where the mysteries are calling and the stories unfold
Or do I turn around, take the safer way?
Miss the chance to find what's hidden in the fray
There's magic in the distance, there's wonder to be found
But my heart keeps asking, What if I fall down?
Do I keep on walking down this unknown road?

Maybe comfort's just a cage that keeps us small
Maybe risk's the only way to see it all
Every distant city starts with just one mile
Into foreign places worth the extra while

So I'll keep on going down the road ahead
Where mysteries are calling and my story spreads
I won't turn around, won't take the safer way
I'll travel foreign lands to find what waits today
There's magic in the distance, wonder to be found
Even if I break down, I'll turn it around
I'll keep on going down the road ahead
Down the road ahead, Down the road ahead
