The Lads - On The Road lyrics

(V1)

Hurting people everywhere it seems

The beating heart of life ripped from our dreams

So we try to mend the seams

We hold on desperately to what we've got

Our sex life, drugs, our friends no matter what

So it seems that love is there, life is here

But it's disappeared

(CH)

On the road that I'm going

On the road that I choose today

There's a river that is flowing

Though the road is long

The currents of hope are strong

(V2)

A man called Jesus Christ once strangely said

That life would surely come if we'd be dead

For that reason He bled

Death is when we give up all we've got

Lay down our guns, let Jesus call the shots

Then I know that love comes in, life begins

It'll never end

(BRIDGE)

I could let it slip

I could let it fall

See it slide away

Say ‘I don't care at all'

See my world come crashing down

And my dreams trampled on the floor

But my mind's made up

I won't go that way any more

(CH2)

On the road that I'm going

On the road that I choose today (it's a narrow way)

There's a river that is flowing

Though there's a price to pay

You're gonna experience pain either way

Why not turn around, see the power of God surround

Turn around
