verse
The road ahead stretches on for miles
I will not see its end today
But as I walk it I have to smile
For I know there’s no other way
I’m on my own now, but not alone
And from my path, I will not stray
I’ll make my way into the unknown
I’ll find myself on this highway
chorus
And we’ll see what kind of man
I turn into over time
Life is a mountain before me
That I’m determined to climb
verse
So many things that I’ve yet to learn
But I’m determined to endure
And if I’m great, their respect, I’ll earn
My legacy will be secured
I want to be on the righteous side
I want to do good for mankind
And yet I know if I only tried
That this world could easily be mine
chorus
And we’ll see what kind of man
I turn into over time
Life is a mountain before me
That I’m determined to climb
breakdown
Life’s too short for looking back
or following the leader’s pack
Cuz I’m no train, and there’s no track
Release the inner maniac, come on!
outro
The only thing that I know for sure:
I won’t go quietly through life
