Down that road
Is a place I never wanted to see,
A sound I never wanted to hear,
A painful past I never wanted to feel
Yet it defines most of me.

Down that road
Is a life I used to live --
An unforgettable memory;
A test that wasn't easy
Yet I keep on taking it.

Down that road
Is a secret I never knew
A mystery that had no clue
A lie that seemed to be true...

Down that road
Is a feeling I couldn't bear
Feelings of anger and despair;
A world that didn't seem to care
A sadness I couldn't compare.

...

But down that road
Is a strength I've gathered
A faith that emerged
A price I've earned;
And a lesson learned...
