I’m traveling down the road
and going nowhere.
At least it seems that way
from
where I stand today
If wisdom really comes from
getting older
It doesn’t feel like much has
come my way
Because I worked the same
job
everyday twenty years
Just to see it end up bankrupt
like the rest
And of course there’s nothing
left to show for trying
And no one has an answer
back
even when they’re pressed
I swear I’ve hated sending
out my letters
Reaching out “to whom it
may concern”
If they only knew me and my
good intentions
They’d see their way to get a
good return
Well, at least we had enough
to pay for weddings
My daughters are in
someone else’s hands
And when it’s coming down
to
that only boy of mine
He thinks he’ll make a living,
playing in a band
I’m going nowhere but up
from here
and the sun still shines in the
end
I still believe
It’s so hard to understand
the things I’ve been through
A wife who took an illness to
the grave
And I stood and watched her
as
she never asked for pity
Because she knew the end
would find her saved
You can’t always come up
with
an explanation
For the things that we choose
to do or just ignore
And in the final moment
there’s
no regretting the decision
To open up your heart when
God is knocking at the door
I’m going nowhere but up
from here
and the sun still shines in the
end I still believe
I’m going nowhere but up
from here
and the sun still shines in the
end I still believe
I’m going nowhere but up
from here
and the sun still shines in the
end I still believe
