A long road before me, a long road ahead of me
A journey whatever you make of it
Some call it life, some call it living
Some fast and some slow
Wondering where this road goes
The walk feels so long
Wish I knew where it is going
Wish I knew if the path is not wrong
Along this road meeting so many
Some colourful, some clueless as me
With careful feet touching the ground
Some just fades into the dawn
It is amusing and confusing
these people I meet along
do they know the way and where its leading
or they are still finding the song
This path that feels so straight
But straight it really is not
I have been walking as straight as can be
But the path just loops forever that be
It feels so familiar
I keep coming back here
The smell, colours and atmosphere
It feels I have been just near
Then sometimes the road branches too many
I see people, righteous, spiritual and gentle
Carrying boards showing the right path they say
But I wonder if there is a way
If there is such a path, would it not just be one way
its amusing and confusing
If it really is the only way
why noble men stopped right away
at the beginning of the pathway
in need of followers
promise of heavens in faraway
am I lost amidst disarray
Now where do I turn I say?
Ask your inner self they say
Belief in the voice
the only voice, one voice, your voice
Is it my voice, their voice, nature’s voice
My parent’s voice, my teachers' voice, my friends' voice
Wait a moment! so much noise
Did I really have a voice, my voice!
