Lyrics :
_________________________________________________
The road ahead - City To City
_________________________________________________
The road ahead is empty
It’s paved with miles of the unknown
Whatever seems to be your destination
Take life the way it comes, take life the way it is
Horizon in the distance
So close and yet so far away
You shouldn’t be surprised when on arrival
The dream has flown away and fears not here to stay
The road ahead never gives away a promise
The road ahead is a highway or a dead end street
A dead end street
Raindrops on your windscreen
They fall from heaven or from hell
You drive into the light or into darkness
Uncertainty as your guide
The road ahead will never give away a promise
Oh oh, the road ahead is a highway or a dead end street
Woh oh, the road ahead never answers any questions
And nothing is shown along the way, not even tomorrow
With miles of the unkown ahead of you
The road ahead is empty
It’s paved with miles of the unknown
Whatever seems to be your destination
Take life the way it comes, take life the way it is
