We've all been thrust into the dream Move automatically downstream Turning around to find the way It's never just another day Fear is the first step to the truth Get understanding from all you do Contentment is the kiss of death It fools you into your last breath So many ways to be deceived So many reasons to believe Take the distant road and never deviate You'll be thrown off track many times along your way Take the lessons learned in pain and misery Take the distant road to lead you through the gate But I miss the way that my world used to be When nothing mattered, oh I was so free As a random object bounding around space And life was just a series of days Let's walk away from the herd And hope that they will hear the word Forget the lies that we have heard Steadfast and never be deterred So many things to leave behind For the renewal of our mind Take the distant road and never deviate You'll be thrown off track many times along your way Take the lessons learned in pain and misery Take the distant road to lead you through the gate
