The Road I Walk Lyrics by Lesley Gore

Someplace Else Now

0

[Verse 1]
The road I walk
Has no return
It's tasked to teach, it's my room to learn
With no concern of where I've been
Just can I play, and will I win?
The road I walk
Has been walked before
It's made some rich
And it's made some poor
I'm never sure of where life went
Or who they were, or what it meant

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
And what price must we pay for love?
And what price must we pay for glory?
And tell me God, if there's a one above
And must I live the same sad story?

[Verse 2]
The road I walk is paved with stone
It's cold and curved
To walk alone
In search unknown for peace of mind
Which often takes a life to find
The road I walk has eyes and ears
It sees the lies, and it hears the fears
Untouched by years of wandering souls
Too young to know they're growing old

[Refrain]
Yeah, yeah yeah

[Chorus]
And what price must we pay for love?
And what price must we pay for glory?
Tell me God, if there's a one above
And must I live the same sad story?
And what price must we pay for love?
And what price must we pay for glory?
And tell me God, if there's a one above
And must I live the same sad story?

[Outro]
And what price must we pay for love?
And what price must we pay for glory?
Tell me God, if there's a one above
And must I live the same sad story?
