one day, walking, i awaken,
amazed to see where i have come,
where i'm going, where i'm from.
this is not the path i thought.
this is not the path i sought.
this is not the dream i bought,
just a fever of fate i've caught.
i'll change highways in a while,
at the crossroads, one more mile.
my path is lit by my own fire.
i'm going only where i desire.
on the road that i have taken,
one day, walking, i awaken.
one day, walking, i awaken, on the road that i have taken.
