Born in this country as a son of The Father
We were raised in many ways the same
But I’ll be the one on the road less traveled
You’ll be the one who will die without a name
And I’ll sing to the souls who have lost their way
In a city that will only break your heart
And though these lights were made to lead us astray
We will use them in defense of the arts
To light these caves
Taught by our mistakes and the wisdom of our mothers
We fought the hopes of the ones who told us no
But I’ll be the one standing firm by my failures
You’ll be the one who will never ever grow
And I’ll sing to the souls working jobs that they hate
Just because they have loved ones to work for
So I’ll give up the gun and embrace my fate
Like a soldier drafted for another war
That no one wins
Faced with decisions bigger than our bodies,
You looked for answers in another cigarette
Still I’ll be the one on the road less traveled
You’ll be the one they will bury with regret
And I’ll sing to the souls who can never find peace
Always struggling with ideas of a god
And I’ll raise my voice but I’ll stay on my knees
Cause I know that He can see past my façade
I’m not to blame
We’re not the same
