Long Ride Lyrics

Sitting on a highway, noting what is in the mind

As an evaluating world shoots by, he questions who am I?

As a reminiscence of fitting words and skills

Leaves a finishing touch not void of belie

Ruminant to his identity, delving deep beneath the "I"

Soaring on to higher grounds to view the people hasting by

It dawns; the hippies were right; we didn't globalize

To lose touch, the fault isn't mine

And it's a long ride to find yourself when you hide yourself

And it's a long night jumping through the hoops for your secular pride

Youth is acting nice, but losing grasp, I wonder why

An epidemic of depression is our typical false ally

We've become the pawns in the same chess board

We reach for the same, but compare ourselves with lies

Surging in a search in information to get by

Reverting to a state of inaction, seeing his own lie

Punk rockers were right; to measure and pressure

Is not our leisure if authentic is a black tie

And it's a long ride to find yourself when you hide yourself

And it's a long night jumping through the hoops for your secular pride

Originals come in short, so behold; the end be nigh

Not all is said and done, but harder than being bone dry

And the access to a repetitive knack

Is a temptation that few can defy

Old man, in his wisdom, say "one day you're gonna die"

And with his words you ought to greet the world well knowing that implies

To leave behind a recipe to your "I"

That no one could ever dare to deny

But it's a long ride to find yourself when you hide yourself

And it's a long night jumping through the hoops for your secular pride

And it's a long ride

And it's a long night jumping through the hoops for your secular pride
