Roads Less Traveled
Embracing Destiny: Ziggy Marley's Journey on the Roads Less Traveled
Lyrics
I take the roads less traveled I'm on my way
I choose unconventional paths in life, and I'm progressing towards my goals.
I take the roads less traveled I'll see you again some day
Despite taking less-traveled roads, I anticipate meeting you again in the future.
I take the roads less traveled well I'm on my way
Continuing on unique and less common paths towards my objectives.
When I was a young boy people try to tell me what I should be
As a young boy, others tried to dictate my future, suggesting what I should become.
And then a wise man sang decide your own destiny
A wise person advised me to determine my own destiny.
Auntie said choices you make chances you take
Auntie emphasizes that the choices I make come with associated risks.
To be free to be free to be free I got to be brave
Freedom requires bravery, taking chances to be liberated.
I take the roads less traveled I'm on my way
I continue on unconventional paths, making progress towards my goals.
I take the roads less traveled I'll see you some day
I believe we will meet again someday, despite the unique paths I've chosen.
Now my daddy had a lot of women and my mama had a lot of grief
My father faced relationship challenges, causing pain for my mother.
And the brethrens that surrounded him became the enemies
Those who were close to him turned into adversaries due to greed and jealousy.
'Cause greed can't be satisfied by money and jealousy's a disease
Greed is insatiable with money, and jealousy is a harmful ailment.
Oh if you don't learn from history what a blind man see
Failure to learn from history leads to blindness in understanding.
I take the roads less traveled I'm on my way
Despite challenges, I persist on less-traveled paths towards my objectives.
I take the roads less traveled see you again one day
I believe we will reunite someday, despite the challenges of unique journeys.
The more I love the more hurt I feel
The more love I give, the more emotional pain I experience, and I accept this reality.
And that's all right by me cause that's just how I be
I acknowledge and embrace the emotional challenges that come with love.
I could be like a brother sold out for a million dollar
Choosing integrity over material gain, unlike someone who betrays for money.
I could be like a brother despising one another
I reject the idea of harboring hatred towards others.
And auntie said choices you make chances you take
Auntie reiterates the importance of making choices and facing the risks for freedom.
And to be free to be free to be free you got to be brave
To attain freedom, one must exhibit courage in making choices.
I take the roads less traveled I'm on my way
I persist on unconventional paths, making progress towards my goals.
I take the roads less traveled I'll see you some day
I anticipate meeting you again in the future, despite the challenges of unique journeys.
I take the roads less traveled I'm on my way
I continue on less-traveled paths, making progress towards my objectives.
