The Road

(albüm: One World - 1971)

When you wanna find your own road and you need an open door
When you're looking for an also in a world of either or
Everywhere you turn, folks are going the other way
They're trying to find tomorrow but they haven't found today
And the blind can't see the blind so you hope it's lost your mind

It's a long, lonely road and the sun is a heavy, heavy load
It's a long, lonely road and it never bends, no, no and it never ends

All the answers stay a secret and yet everybody knows
They're following the leader but no one's watching where it goes
Moving to the left, moving to the right
But don't look up and down unless you're looking for a fight
People talking up a storm, like the wind will keep them warm

It's a long, lonely road and the sun is a heavy, heavy load
It's a long, lonely road and it never bends, oh-oh, it never ends

(And no one seems to want to dream the real dream) no, no
(No-no-no, oh-oh-oh, no-no-no, oh-oh-oh)

But if you wanna be a dreamer, well, first you've gotta have the dreams
'Cause seeing man, is believing although it's not the way it seems
Simple isn't simple and easy isn't hard, today can see tomorrow and the future drops her guard
Until the new words find a way to the tongues of yesterday

Oh, it's a long, lonely road and the sun is a heavy, heavy load
It's a long, lonely road and it never bends, oh, no, and it never ends

(And no one seems to want to dream the real dream) oh, oh
(No-no-no, oh-oh-oh) oh, no, no, no, no
(No-no-no, oh-oh-oh) the blind can't see the blind
(No-no-no, oh-oh-oh)
(No-no-no, oh-oh-oh) such a long, long, lonely road
(No-no-no, oh-oh-oh) looking for an answer
