Hurting people everywhere it seems
The beating heart of life ripped from our dreams
So we try to mend the seams
We hold on desperately to what we've got
Our sex life, drugs, our friends no matter what
So it seems that love is there
Life is here, but it's disappeared
On the road that I'm going
On the road that I choose today
There's a river that is flowing
Though the road is long
The currents of hope are strong
A man called Jesus Christ once strangely said
That life would surely come if we'd be dead
For that reason He bled
Death is when we give up all we've got
Lay down our guns, let Jesus call the shots
Then I know that love comes in
Life begins, it'll never end
On the road that I'm going
On the road that I choose today
There's a river that is flowing
Though the road is long
The currents of hope are strong
On the road that I'm going
On the road that I choose today
It's a narrow way
There's a river that is flowing
Though the road is long
The currents of hope are strong
I could let it slip, I could let it fall
See it slide away, say ‘I don't care at all’
See my world come crashing down
And my dreams trampled on the floor
But my mind's made up
I won't go that way anymore
On the road that I'm going
On the road that I choose today
It's a narrow way
There's a river that is flowing
Oh, there's a price to pay (there's a price to pay)
You'll experience pain either way (experience pain either way)
Why not turn around (why not turn around)
See the power of God surround
