the sum of all my fears like dread are from demons yet to come all the things i should ve mentioned wave goodbye and we ll see you soon it s the words i ve never written that say more about myself where empty is the promise lies a pocket full of doubt so may the road i ve yet to take leave a smile across my face till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind for i still belong in the cradle of humankind though my time may be less traveled than those that came before we re all exiles here in madness kicking down each other s door unforgiven is the lesson we pour upon ourselves when a helping hand is needed a slap in the face is what we get but i will fight for this right and each moment of its life till i witness all the differences yet to heal so may the road i ve yet to take leave a smile across my face till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind for i still belong in the cradle of humankind sometimes drink till i am empty grab another from the shelf though i m stuck in conversation it s with myself and no one else never listen to much reason till i hear it s last call when i notice that ghost is still dancing on his own so may the road i ve yet to take leave a smile across my face till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind for i still belong in the cradle of humankind wherever you go wherever you go wherever you go oh wherever you go there will always be a roof and a dream above our heads as long as i m breathing then forever i ll be ah i will fight for this right and each moment of its life till i witness all the differences yet to heal so may the road we ve yet to take leave a smile across our face till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind we still belong in the cradle of humankind
