Lyrics

All of the roads I've run

All the paths I have taken in life

All of the faces I've left in my wake

All the people I've left behind as I moved forward

Hopin' to leave my mark

Hoping to make a significant impact

Hopin' I gave and I didn't just take

Expressing the desire to contribute rather than just taking

Climbing a mountain many are left behind

Climbing a challenging path where many have been left behind

Chasing a dream and seeing the world takes time

Pursuing a dream and recognizing that experiencing the world takes time


If you were in my world

Imagining someone entering the speaker's world

If you could feel all the things that I feel

Inviting empathy by suggesting the intensity of the speaker's emotions

Maybe you'd understand

Believing that understanding requires shared feelings

Every mirage has a certain appeal

Reflecting on the allure of illusions or deceptive appearances

After the thrill it's off to indifferent rooms

After the excitement, facing ordinary and unremarkable situations

After the lights the darkness is coming soon

Following the lights, anticipating the inevitability of darkness


I've done it all before

Expressing a sense of repetition in life experiences

And I have gone through every door

Having explored various opportunities and possibilities

And I've been right down on the floor and more

Having faced challenges and difficulties


All of the roads I've run

Reiterating the idea of the paths taken in life

All of the years that have fallen away

Reflecting on the passage of time

Light from a distant star

Symbolizing hope and guidance from a distant source

Crossing the void and arriving one day

Overcoming challenges and arriving at a destination

Oceans of space defending the great unknown

Metaphorically describing vast and unexplored territories

Sooner or later all of us head for home

Recognizing the inevitability of returning home eventually


All of the roads I've run

Repetition emphasizing the extensive journey

All of the roads I've run

Reiterating the theme of the paths taken

All of the roads I've run

Further emphasis on the multitude of roads traveled

All of the roads I've run

Continuing to underscore the extensive journey
