The Road Songtext
von Jivin Scientists

Never in a million years did I see myself standin here
Starin in the mirror, lookin at everything I fear
And I′m amazed at the things that I'm seein
Momma raised a saint, but daddy made a heathen
He said don′t stop fightin till you up and stop breathin
And if they lose faith, give them somethin to believe in
So steady down this road of gold tryna make sense of this
Every word of ink completes my sentences
I got a little sister, had her first baby
They had a hard time, the doctor make it maybe
Reminds me of my nephews, born premature
And every little breath was a battle and a war
But now they talk to me, they smile and they hug
Forever an example, Jason and Joshua bug
Hope is a funny, it's cruel and it's vile
Suffer from the heartache before you start to see a smile
I want to tell my little sister everything is fine I wanna hug and kiss her and ease her mind
But her and I know, this fight only gets harder
And how′s he suppose to swim when he′s chokin on the water
So we just hold up, and pray he's gonna make it
Waitin for the day the icy hill becomes vacant
The doctor was mistakin, wine in the water
A little bit of faith, and the child worked harder
I don′t believe in much, but I believe in you
There's gotta be some reason for the things we go through
Maybe it′s a accident, maybe it's just fate
Maybe there′s a plan, or maybe a mistake
No matter what the circumstance, hold our heads high
Cuz we get to do it while others never try
Humbled by the lessons, become a bit smarter
Cuz even though I work, some have to work harder
Cuz even though I work, some have to work harder


It's a long and winding road
Jessie was a friend of mine
Head on straight
A pretty little thing you could make a soul mate
Love flow from her like water out a fountain
The kind of liquid that you need to drown in
Always on the up and up, known to have fun
A fool of a girl that would trust anyone
Those goons said try some, she said ok
And Jessie fell down a rabbit hole that day
Things got worse, before they got better
A diamond in the rough, I wish you coulda met her
Cuz now she's on that methadone fightin for her existence
And every single night she questions her own commitments
She grows thirsty searchin for that water
Lookin for some help, but no ones even got her
She coulda been brilliant, she coulda been smarter
And even though I work, Jessie is workin harder
Even though I work, Jessie is workin harder
It′s a long and winding road

I don′t believe in much, but I believe in you
There's gotta be some reason for the things we go through
Maybe it′s a accident, maybe it's just fate
Maybe there′s a plan, or maybe a mistake
No matter what the circumstance, hold our heads high
Cuz we get to do it while others never try
Humbled by the lessons, become a bit smarter
Cuz even though I work, some have to work harder
Some have to work harder

I don't believe in much, but I believe in you
There′s gotta be some reason for the things we go through
Maybe it's a accident, maybe it's just fate
Maybe there′s a plan, or maybe a mistake
No matter what the circumstance, hold our heads high
Cuz we get to do it while others never try
Humbled by the lessons, become a bit smarter
Cuz even though I work, some have to work harder
Some have to work harder
