Black man on a freeway riding a bike
He looks a little older but he's going somewhere
Might be just flying a kite
Over on the shoulder but he's going somewhere
Chorus:
I'm on my way, before the daylight's shot
I'm gonna swing and sway
Ready or not
Too much danger, too many tears
Anything could keep you from going somewhere
Suspicious strangers and all of your fears
Might rob you and beat you if you're going somewhere
But I'm on my way, before the daylight's shot
I'm gonna swing and sway
Ready or Not
I want you to be on your way on the road less taken
While the news is breaking, be on your way
For the chance worth taking
For the stand worth making
Be on your way
Because under the barrel you cannot see the light
Shining on the pilgrims going somewhere
Along with the peril comes joy and delight
Bathing every pilgrim that's going somewhere
So be on your way, before the daylight's shot
You've got to swing and sway
Ready or not
