Coming Down the Road
Journey of Reflection: Finding Truth and Freedom Down the Road
Lyrics
Well I heard the bells of freedom once
Reflecting on a past experience of hearing the bells of freedom.
As I was coming down the road
Currently traveling on a road.
Coming down the road
Repetition of the imagery of coming down the road.
And I followed that echo wherever it would go
Following the echoes of freedom along the journey.
As I was coming down the road
Continuing the journey down the road.
But there always seemed to be trouble in my path
Encountering difficulties or challenges on the path.
I found my hands tied behind my back
Feeling constrained or restricted, facing obstacles.
As I was coming down the road
Still in the process of coming down the road.
Coming down the road
Reiteration of the ongoing journey.
Well I heard the truth call my name
Hearing a call to truth during the journey.
As I was coming down the road
Continuing the journey down the road.
Coming down the road
Repetition of the imagery of coming down the road.
And I followed that voice to the valley below
Following the call to truth into a valley.
As I was coming down the road
Continuing the journey down the road.
And it took me down a path where I was lost all the time
Exploring a path where the speaker feels lost.
I found some truth but it could never be mine
Finding some truth, but it remains elusive.
As I was coming down the road
Still in the process of coming down the road.
Coming down the road
Reiteration of the ongoing journey.
And I saw myself for a second as I really am
Having a moment of self-reflection and realization.
As I was coming down the road
Continuing the journey down the road.
And I had to look away in disbelief I suppose
Feeling a sense of disbelief at the self-discovery.
As I was coming down the road
Still in the process of coming down the road.
I caught a glimpse of myself as others see me
Glimpsing oneself from an external perspective.
And I wasn't the fella that I thought I'd be
Realizing a disparity between self-perception and reality.
As I was coming down the road
Continuing the journey down the road.
Coming down the road
Reiteration of the ongoing journey.
I saw you out my window
Observing someone outside the window while traveling.
As you was walking alone
The person is walking alone.
Coming down the road
Repetition of the imagery of coming down the road.
And I raised my hand as if to say hello
Greeting the person by raising a hand.
As I was coming down the road
Continuing the journey down the road.
But you didn't wave back
Not receiving a response from the person.
You just walked on by
The person walks by without acknowledging.
Alone by yourself
The person continues alone until death.
Till the day you die
Highlighting the solitude and inevitable mortality.
And I guess the truth and freedom before us all are lies
Suggesting that truth and freedom are deceptive or unattainable.
Somewhere down the road
Anticipating a future realization or event somewhere down the road.
Somewhere down the road
Concluding with the repeated idea of something significant in the future.
