I travelled the long road just so you would listen
I travelled the long road just me and my intuition
No body seemed to understand just why I left with the clothes on by back
They asked why such a drastic change
I just know that my decision will put me on track

That is why I travelled the long road
So I can smile again feel good inside again maybe even laugh again
I am going to travel

They closed so many doors on me
So I climbed right in the window
Cause as long as I can breathe I see that my spirit is protecting me
Oh they say that good things come to those who have the patience to remain the same
Don’t sacrifice your everything just to be some temporary vision that’s gonna change

You’ve gotta travel the long road
So you can smile again feel good inside again maybe even laugh again
You have got to travel

Just let your heart carry you through cause it knows what you are trying to do
And love is such a beautiful truth it gives strength to make it thru
When you walking down the road of life keep your head up and get ready to run
Cause you probably have to feel some pain
But it’s a sacrifice a chosen few will have to make

You’ve gotta travel
They say that good things come to those who have the patience to remain the same
Don’t you sacrifice your everything just to be some temporary vision that’s gonna change

You’ve gotta travel the long road
So you can smile again
Feel good inside again maybe even laugh again
You’ve gotta travel the long road (ooh)
You’ve gotta travel
Keep your head up to the sky
When the day is done you know you have gotta travel
Get on your knees and pray
Travel the long road.
