“Still More Roads to Ride”
(Soft Piano Intro)
Is this the morning light?
Or a dream that’s fading slow?
Faces in the hallway,
Names I used to know.
Standing in the mirror,
Silver where the dark hair shined,
Searching through the shadows,
For the memories I can’t find.
Oh Love…
Where did yesterday go?
I close my eyes,
And the years all seem to flow…
(Ballad Section)
The sunlight burns my eyes today,
The world is bright and strange,
The rooms I know seem different now,
Though nothing here has changed.
Sometimes I lose a sentence,
Sometimes I lose the day,
Sometimes I start a journey
And forget along the way.
People say, “You’re older now,”
As if that’s all they see,
But there’s a thousand songs inside
Still waiting to be free.
(Operatic Section)
Magnifico! Magnifico!
Where’s the road I used to know?
Will I find it?
Can I fight it?
Does the future still invite me?
Thunder rolling!
Mind is turning!
Fragments of a distant melody!
Oh-oh-oh-oh!
Voices calling from the years,
Echoes ringing in my ears,
Every wrinkle tells a story,
Every scar survives the glory!
Don’t you tell me it’s over!
Don’t you tell me I’m done!
I’ve still got fire in my veins,
I’ve still got miles to run!
(Heavy Rock Section)
No!
I won’t surrender to the fear!
I won’t disappear!
The calendar keeps stealing pages,
But I’m still standing here!
I’ve worked, I’ve loved,
I’ve laughed, I’ve cried,
I’ve watched whole worlds collide!
And even if my mind gets lost,
My heart remains my guide!
Guitar screaming through the night!
Fight! Fight! Fight!
The light may hurt my aging eyes,
But I can still see hope arise!
(Reflective Breakdown)
Some days are harder than before,
Some doors don’t open quite the same,
But every sunrise whispers softly,
“Baby, you’re more than just a name.”
There’s still music left to play,
Still stories left to tell,
Still friends to hold,
Still skies to see,
Still reasons to rebel.
(Final Anthem)
Nothing really lasts forever,
Nothing stays the same,
But every life that’s truly lived
Leaves an everlasting flame.
So if tomorrow finds me searching,
If memories drift away,
I’ll hold onto the love I’ve known
And face another day.
Still more roads to ride…
Still mountains left to climb…
Still laughter in my soul…
Still rhythm in my time…
Oh Love…
The curtain hasn’t fallen yet…
No…
Not yet…
Not yet…
