[INTRO — SPOKEN, SOFT REGGAE] One
day...
A
son
sat
beside
his
father
And
asked
a
painful
question. “
Father...
Why
didn't
you
send
me
to
school?”
The
old
man
looked
at
him...
And
sighed.
[VERSE 1 — FATHER AND SON] The
father
said: “
My
son,
I
sent
you
to
school.
But
you
refused
to
go.”
The
son
said: “
Then
why
didn't
you
force
me?”
The
father
replied: “
We
did.
We
pleaded.
We
advised.
We
punished
you.
We
even
left
scars
Trying
to
save
your
future.”
The
son
lowered
his
head. “
But
Father...
You
knew
the
value
of
education.
You
should
have
done
more.”
The
old
man
looked
at
him
With
tears
in
his
eyes: “
My
son...
WE
DID
OUR
BEST.” [
CHORUS] 🎵
Life
is
like
a
journey,
Some
have
travelled
before.
Listen
to
the
footsteps
Of
those
who
know
the
road.
There
are
mountains,
There
are
valleys,
There
are
dangers
you
cannot
see.
Life
is
like
a
journey...
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD
OF
YOU. 🎵
[VERSE 2] Father
and
son
began
to
cry.
Because
the
boy
Who
once
thought
he
knew
everything...
Had
now
become
a
man
Regretting
yesterday.
In
his
youth,
He
thought
he
was
wiser.
He
thought
his
mind
Could
never
fail
him.
He
thought
he
had
A
super
brain.
Nobody
could
advise
him.
Nobody
could
correct
him.
But
life
has
a
strange
classroom...
And
sometimes
The
examination
comes
Before
the
lesson. [
REFRAIN] 🎵
Yesterday
he
knew
everything...
Today
he
understands.
Wisdom
ignored
in
the
morning
Can
become
tears
in
the
evening.
Life
is
like
a
journey...
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD
OF
YOU. 🎵
[VERSE 3 — THE JOURNEY] Some
people
Are
already
ahead
of
you
On
this
road
called
LIFE.
They
have
climbed
some
hills
You
have
not
yet
seen.
They
have
crossed
rivers
You
have
not
yet
reached.
They
have
fallen
into
trenches
You
don't
even
know
exist.
They
have
seen
The
wild
animals
of
life.
They
know
where
The
dangerous
corners
are.
You
can
listen
to
them...
And
walk
a
smoother
road.
Or
ignore
them...
And
use
your
precious
life
As
an
experiment.
[CALL AND RESPONSE] Lead:
There
are
valleys!
Choir:
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD!
Lead:
There
are
mountains!
Choir:
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD!
Lead:
There
are
hidden
dangers!
Choir:
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD!
Lead:
Life
is
a
journey!
Choir:
DON'T
TRAVEL
BLIND!
[VERSE 4 — THE PROVERB] Our
elders
said:
The
stubborn
fly
Follows
the
corpse
Into
the
grave.
Not
because
nobody
warned
it...
But
because
It
refused
to
listen.
How
many
people
Bite
their
fingers
today...
Because
yesterday
They
rejected
good
counsel?
How
many
tears
Could
have
been
avoided?
How
many
mistakes
Could
have
been
escaped?
Pride
can
make
a
young
person
Think
advice
is
an
insult.
But
sometimes...
Advice
is
a
map.
[BRIDGE — PERSONAL RESOLVE] As
for
me...
I
have
chosen
To
listen
to
those
ahead.
So
if
you
shout
And
I
don't
follow
your
road...
Don't
be
offended.
Maybe
I
am
following
Another
map.
Maybe
someone
ahead
of
me
Has
already
warned
me
About
the
road
You
are
calling
me
to
follow.
Not
every
crowd
Is
travelling
To
the
right
destination. [
FINAL
CHORUS —
FULL
CHOIR] 🎵
Life
is
like
a
journey,
Some
have
travelled
before.
Some
have
travelled
before.
Listen
to
the
footsteps
Listen
to
the
footsteps
Of
those
who
know
the
road.
There
are
valleys,
There
are
mountains,
There
are
dangers
you
cannot
see.
Life
is
like
a
journey...
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD
OF
YOU!
Before
regret
becomes
your
teacher...
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD
OF
YOU!
Before
your
evening
Begins
to
cry
for
your
morning...
LISTEN
TO
THOSE
AHEAD
OF
YOU! 🎵
[OUTRO — SPOKEN] You
don't
have
to
make
Every
mistake
yourself
Before
you
learn.
Some
lessons
Can
be
borrowed
From
another
person's
scars.
Some
wisdom
Can
save
you
years.
Some
advice
Can
save
your
future.
Life
is
a
journey.
And
sometimes...
The
person
walking
ahead
of
you
Is
not
trying
to
control
you.
He
is
only
shouting: “
MY
CHILD...
THERE
IS
A
DITCH
AHEAD.”
Listen.
Learn.
And
travel
wisely. 🎵
Life
is
like
a
journey...
Listen
to
those
ahead
of
you... 🎵
