The Road Ahead

[male

vocals] (

Acoustic

guitar

intro

with

light

percussion)

Yeah,

yeah

Sometimes

you

have

to

leave

to

find

your

way

back

home

Listen

All

my

life

I

have

always

had

a

dream

To

work

hard

and

reach

a

point

where

I

will

feel

proud

of

myself

I

have

walked

these

dusty

roads

looking

for

a

spark

Trying

to

light

a

fire

in

the

middle

of

the

dark

I

have

worked

hard,

I

have

toiled,

sweat

on

my

brow

But

everything

I

do

seems

like

it

is

falling

apart

right

now

I

look

at

the

horizon

and

the

path

is

getting

thin

Wondering

where

the

strength

for

the

next

step

will

begin

Kuyenda

kwanga

niziba

sikuzamikondwelesa

iweee

But

nifuna

kuti

munichiteko

understand

Ngati

kwenze

njila

yenangu

ngati

nayisebenzesa

ine

I

would

stay

right

here

if

I

only

had

the

plan

Kuyenda

kwanga

niziba

sikuzamikondwelesa

iweee

But

nifuna

kuti

munichiteko

understand

Ngati

kwenze

njila

yenangu

ngati

nayisebenzesa

ine

I

would

stay

right

here

if

I

only

had

the

plan

I

have

to

go,

search

for

a

better

tomorrow,

you

see

It

is

not

that

I

want

to

leave

the

ones

who

believe

in

me

But

the

silence

in

the

kitchen

and

the

empty

pocket

weight

Forces

me

to

challenge

the

closing

of

the

gate

I

am

packing

up

my

memories,

keeping

them

so

tight

Walking

towards

the

city

under

the

stars

at

night

It

is

a

long

way,

but

the

vision

is

burning

clear

I

have

to

face

the

distance,

I

have

to

face

the

fear

Kuyenda

kwanga

niziba

sikuzamikondwelesa

iweee

But

nifuna

kuti

munichiteko

understand

Ngati

kwenze

njila

yenangu

ngati

nayisebenzesa

ine

I

would

stay

right

here

if

I

only

had

the

plan

Kuyenda

kwanga

niziba

sikuzamikondwelesa

iweee

But

nifuna

kuti

munichiteko

understand

Ngati

kwenze

njila

yenangu

ngati

nayisebenzesa

ine

I

would

stay

right

here

if

I

only

had

the

plan

Family

and

friends,

I

hope

you

hear

the

song

I

sing

I

am

chasing

down

the

promise

that

the

future

might

bring

It

is

not

a

goodbye,

it

is

a

see

you

later

state

I

am

working

on

the

destiny

that

I

have

to

create

Believe

in

me,

even

when

I

am

out

of

sight

I

am

keeping

the

fire

burning,

I

am

keeping

it

bright

So

keep

the

porch

light

on,

keep

the

prayers

in

the

air

I

know

that

you

love

me

and

I

know

that

you

care

Every

mile

that

I

cover,

every

mountain

that

I

climb

I

am

doing

it

for

us,

one

step

at

a

time

No

more

falling

apart,

no

more

feeling

the

strain

I

am

planting

the

seeds

to

harvest

all

of

the

grain

Kuyenda

kwanga

niziba

sikuzamikondwelesa

iweee

But

nifuna

kuti

munichiteko

understand

Ngati

kwenze

njila

yenangu

ngati

nayisebenzesa

I

would

stay

right

here

if

I

I

only

had

the

plan

I

will

be

back

Yeah,

for

you

and

me

I

have

to

go

find

a

better

tomorrow

Understand

me (
