There's a road that's dark and lonesome And once you're gone, there's no return There's still forgiveness and redemption, But there is consequence and hard lessons learned. Yes, God can pick up the broken pieces Of shattered lives layin' on the ground. And God will mend them so the pain eases, But scars will still remain where you've fallen down. Don't go! Don't go! Don't go down that long and lonesome road! Don't go! Don't go! If you take that road, you're goin' it alone! Don't go! Don't go! Don't go down that long and lonesome road! Don't go! Don't go! If you take that road, you're goin' it alone! God is able and He is willing To overcome where we have failed. Just call upon the name of Jesus And you'll see two set of footprints on your trail 'Cause He will walk beside you And lead to pastures that are green, But even with His healing, Some scars will always be seen. Don't go! Don't go! Don't go down that long and lonesome road! Don't go! Don't go! If you take that road, you're goin' it alone!
