The road is winding, turning every which way
My journey seems as if it'll be a long one, will I stray?
Contemplation as the fog disappears, night turns to day
I'm away of the difficulties, but will, oh will I be okay?

The questions will run through my mind, maybe haunt me
The answers will show up, frustrate me, maybe set me free
There's people along the way telling me "be all you can be"
Encouraging, yet when I look in the mirror I'm not sure what I see

All I know is that when I look back I'll see the distance I've traveled
The people I've left behind, the broken promises shattered
My old ways, the outside layer worn and tattered
Now I know these material, these people don't matter

Further down the path, the raod starts to straighten out
I'm coming to terms with what this journey's all about
Motivation and certainty replace my old feelings of doubt
The temptations will still linger, only in small amounts

My mind, my thoughts, the answers are clear
My time is coming soon, the day my life will start is near
Life without my drugs will no longer leave me consumed with fear
No longer wanting to waste time, it's precious so I'll hold it dear

The road is no longer winding, I know the way
My journey is how I percieve it to be, I will not stray
Contemplation disappears with the fog, night turns to day
Still aware of the difficulties, I will, oh I will be okay
