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

Night Turns to Day
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
