Can you miss what you never have known?
Can you ache for the place that was never your home?
No misgivings or shame
Like the moth to a flame
To burn up, or fizzle alone
Can you know who inhabits your skin?
Can you trust that you won't blow away in the wind?
Do you tether your hopes
Or let go of the ropes
And just hope that you someday descend
Just follow the road
The blood in your veins
Like a track for the trains
The heart always aims for the place
Where you belong
Just follow it home
Though it may not agree
With the path that you seek
Sometimes you just need to stop searching
And stand up and go
Just follow the road
Can a bird take flight in the sky
With no map and no compass for thousands of miles
And just glide through the air
On a wing and a prayer
Till the day he finally arrives
When the rain comes out of the clouds
It makes no decision to fall to the ground
The fate was ordained
When the time came to rain
There's nowhere to go now but down
Just follow the road
The blood in your veins
Like a track for the trains
The heart always aims for the place
Where you belong
Just follow it home
Though it may not agree
With the path that you seek
Sometimes you just need to stop searching
And stand up and go
Just follow the road
Can love exist unexpressed?
With no way to show it to you in the flesh?
If you follow the road
Till it leads you back home
You'll find that the answer is yes
