Roads We Take

(Verse 1)

Woke up with the weight of time on my chest,

Every step I take is another test.

Some roads are golden, some are paved in stone,

Some lead you places, some leave you alone.

(Pre-Chorus)

But the wind keeps whisperin’, “keep movin’ on,”

Even when the nights feel twice as long.

(Chorus)

Oh, the roads we take, the hearts we break,

The love we lose, the dreams we chase.

Every mile, every scar, every twist in the dark,

It’s all part of who we are.

(Verse 2)

I’ve seen the highs, I’ve kissed the ground,

Lost my way but I’m still found.

A map won’t tell you what the soul just knows,

Sometimes you stay, sometimes you go.

(Pre-Chorus)

And the stars keep singin’, “you’re not alone,”

Even when the echoes feel like stone.

(Chorus)

Oh, the roads we take, the hearts we break,

The love we lose, the dreams we chase.

Every mile, every scar, every twist in the dark,

It’s all part of who we are.

(Bridge – soulful & emotional)

Every tear’s a river, every hope’s a flame,

Every fall’s a lesson, every loss a name.

But the sun keeps risin’, no matter the pain,

Gotta keep on drivin’ through the storm and the rain.

(Final Chorus – bigger, more powerful)

Oh, the roads we take, the hearts we break,

The love we lose, the dreams we chase.

Every mile, every scar, every wish on a star,

It’s all part of who we are.

(Outro – soft, reflective)

So I’ll keep walkin’, through the unknown,

With every step, I’m closer to home.

This could work with a smooth R&B melody, a bluesy soul groove, or even a pop-rock ballad feel. What do you think?
