I traveled the long road
Just so you would listen
I traveled the long road
Just me and my intuition

Nobody seemed to understand
Just why I left with the clothes on by back
They asked why such a drastic change
I just know that my decision will put me on track

That's why I traveled the long road
So I can smile again, feel good inside again
Maybe even laugh again, am going to travel

They closed so many doors on me
So I climbed right in the window
'Cause as long as I can breathe I see
That my spirit is protecting me

They say that good [bad word] to those
Who have the patience to remain the same
Don't sacrifice your everything just to be
Some temporary vision that's gonna change

You've gotta travel the long road
So you can smile again, feel good inside again
Maybe even laugh again, you've got to travel

Just let your heart carry you through
'Cause it knows what you are trying to do
And love is such a beautiful [bad word] 
It gives strength to make it through

When you walking down the road of life
Keep your head up and get ready [bad word] 
Said you probably have to feel the pain
But it's a sacrifice a chosen few will have to make
You've gotta travel

They say that good [bad word] to those
Who have the patience to remain the same
Don't you sacrifice your everything
Just to be some temporary vision that's gonna change

You've gotta travel, travel the long road
You've gotta travel, travel the long road
You've gotta travel, travel the long road
You've gotta travel, travel the long road

You've gotta travel, travel the long road
You've gotta travel, travel the long road
You've gotta travel, travel the long road
You've gotta travel, travel the long road

You've gotta travel, travel the long road
You've gotta travel, travel the long road

Travel the long road
You have gotta travel
And get on your knees and pray
Travel the long road
