Long Long Road (original)

Description

Long Long Road

So much of life is scarred by the failure to act. Maybe we have had a negative experience, and we fear to pull the trigger on a major decision fearing that every burnt bridge or blazed trail will come back to haunt us. So we just wait for something good to happen but that ship doesn’t come in. But when we deeply analyze the matter we must come to the only rational conclusion that we can change  what might have been if we step through the door of decision. Sometimes our fear makes excuses so  as not to decide.  The wise words at Proverbs 22: 13 warns “  The lazy one says: “There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the middle of the public square!” The better action is investigating the validity and wisdom of a decision, “ “The shrewd one ponders each step,” Proverbs 14:15 .   Then follow this advice, “  … become doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves with false reasoning. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his own face  in a mirror.  For he looks at himself, and he goes away and immediately forgets what sort of person he is.  But the one who peers into the perfect law  that belongs to freedom and continues in it has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; and he will be happy in what he does. “-James 1:22 -24,  However this principle here writen by James is about making spiritual decisions that can affect ones future life forever.

The Long Long road keeps on going until it finishes but we don t have to one of its victims. We can change what might have been but we have to step through the door and take action. These were the motivations behind the song.

LONG LONG ROAD

 

ITS A LONG LONG ROAD MY FRIEND
AND YOU CAN WISH FOR THE END BEFORE THE END
AND EVERY TRAIL BLAZED, EVERY BRIDGE BURNED
OH MY FRIEND STILL RETURNS
AND YOU CAN STAND FOREVER ON THE SHORE                                                                                        BUT SHIPS COME IN NO MORE

SOMETIMES I WISH THINGS WOULD CHANGE
BUT THEY SELDEM EVER DOTHEY JUST KEEP MOVING ON UNTIL THEIR THROUGH
THEY JUST KEEP MOVING DOWN A LONG LONG ROAD

IN THE DEEPEST DARK OF NIGHT IN THE LONELY HOURS
THOUGHTS COME BACK TO ME, IN CONSTANT SHOWERS
AND WHATS BEEN BEFORE CANNOT BE AGAIN
STILL YOU CAN CHANGE WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
AND NOW YOU STAND FOREVER AT THIS DOOR
BUT PASSING THROUGH IS WHAT YOUR STANDING FOR

SOMETIMES YOU WISH THINGS WOULD CHANGE                                                                                          BUT THEY SELDOM EVER DO                                                                                                                              THEY JUST KEEP MOVING ON UNTIL THEIR THROUGH
THEY JUST KEEP MOVING DOWN A LONG LONG ROAD
(REPEAT CHORUS)
