It's a long, lonely highway
We all sometimes travel on
Where there is hope on the horizon
To give us strength to carry on
Looking to the future where a seed was sown
It's a long, lonely highway
That we travel on to survive
Fighting injustices at hand
Using words instead of guns and knives
Our inspiration where all hope is grown
The sun will always shine
After the darkest of the night
It's in all our hopes and dreams and God given right
It's a long, lonely highway
Where we often find an empty heart
When you think you've just begun
When you've barely made a start
There is hope on the horizon so stand tall
Nothing can prepare you for what's in store
Sometimes you just have to let it be
There will always be the dreamers
So take courage trust your heart
Stay strong don't fall apart
And soon you'll see
In the final journey
You may glimpse eternity
It's a long, lonely highway
Will this road lead to worlds anew?
You may be touched by another's dream
That inspired you to higher schemes
Like nothing else ever could
It's a long and lonely road
We all sometimes travel on
But keep the faith hope will provide
And the strength to carry on
Looking to a future filled with hope and good
It's a long, lonely highway
We all sometimes travel on
Where there is hope on the horizon...

Wow, very nice!
"Nothing can prepare you for what's in store
Sometimes you have to let it be"
I have to say that this is my favorite part because I'm one of those paranoid people always dreading tomorrow because I'm scared that more problems will come up, so it really spoke to me.
Very nice! =]
