lyrics

You ever feel like nothing really matters?
You ever feel like you don't have a voice?
Like a dream left to die, a river running dry
a heart without its beat

You ever feel something in your soul
is alive yet impossible to find?
Like a road with no sign
Hidden and divine
and it leads to the meaning of it all

Oh the road is all I'm looking for
Yes the road hope that's it's much more
Than a bunch of skin and bones
Beneath a granite stone
Yes I hope there’s a meaning to it

All I know
Is that it lives deep down
Where the only sound
Is the hum our spirits singing free

Ooohh ooohh ooohh ooohh
Oooohh ooohh ooooh oooh

You ever feel like nothing really matters
Then moments later feel your heart
We're living and we're dying
And everyday we're trying
to just know the meaning of it all

It's the silence in the glow
The whisper in the soul
It's the feeling that you know
This isn't all for show
It's the river running fresh
The motion after death
It's the spirit that is left
It's the sun that never sets

Oh the road is all I'm looking for
Yes the road I know that's I'm much more
Than a bunch of skin and bones
Beneath a granite stone
Yes I know there’s a meaning to it all

Ooohh ooohh ooohh ooohh
Oooohh ooohh ooooh oooh
