The Long Road Lyrics

I set out young with open eyes

Tracing roads beneath wide skies

With every mile new stories grew

Of places seen of faces new

In distant towns where voices blend

I found a friend who'd be my end

We walked for days through hills and sand

Two shadows cast across the land

The mountains rose the rivers fought

With every step more battles caught

Through crowded streets through fields of gold

Our tales were forged our bond was bold

In silent woods where paths were lost

We braved the dark we paid the cost

No turning back no safe retreat

The world ahead beneath our feet

The journey stretched through winds and frost

We carried on though storms were tossed

In canyon depths and rugged plains

Each day a test with newfound strains

But in his eyes I found a spark

A guiding force through times so stark

Together strong through miles we tore

Across the land we swore and swore

Through each new dawn each unknown place

We faced the world no fear no trace

We walked the line we broke the chain

Through sun and cold through joy and pain

From heights so steep to depths below

Together bound where rivers flow

In open fields where wild winds play

We laid our path no words to say

The hills rose high the valleys low

We forged ahead with hearts aglow

Onward still through every fight

Through darkest days into the light

And when the journey found its close

In shadows cast where no one knows

We stood as one with stories told

Two travelers strong their bond of gold

For every mile for every bend

We carved our tale until the end
