My feelings changed but nobody knows the conflict deep within me that grows
I've stayed a little long in this place. It's time for me to ramble, got a lot of world before me
The pavement comes to greet me, miles of road before me
Finding things the hard way sometimes is the best way to go
Now I'm heading toward my destiny, fate's right in front of me
Watching for the changes, ain't nothing in this life that's free
I'm taking on adversity as it raises its hand toward me
I'm not going to be a victim left out on the side of the road
Standing here on the side of the road. Now I'm waitin' for someone to carry me along
I turn my face to the wind driven snow. The wind cuts like a razor on my skin through my clothes
The silence of the evening, 'tween cars quickly passing
The blinding flash of headlights take the blackness of the night from my eyes
Now I'm heading toward my destiny, fate's right in front of me
Watching for the changes, ain't nothing in this life that's free
I'm taking on adversity as it raises its hand toward me
I'm not going to be a victim left out on the side of the road
The moonrise brings a light to the night, shadows pass by quickly in the corner of my eye
The night sky's just too big to behold out here in the wilderness stepping toward my goal
Behind me the miles pass away walking toward another day
I walk along this path I make faithful to the will inside me
Now I'm heading toward my destiny, fate's right in front of me
Watching for the changes, ain't nothing in this life that's free
I'm taking on adversity as it raises its hand toward me
I'm not going to be a victim left out on the side of the road
