about

The musical version of “what if” looking back over one’s life. Soft, rolling melodies and creative drum work make for a great sing-along track.

lyrics

The Roads We Didn’t Take (Gelman/Hatfield)


If I had to do it all over
Would I find my way here again?
With all of the choices
That laid before me back then
Would I find myself in this small town?
Or would I get away?
From family and friends
That kept me here through this day

Tell me where do all of the lifetimes go?
On the roads we didn’t take
Where are the seeds that were left unsown?
By the choices that we make
Turn the tables and turn the tides
On the dreams that never wake
Take my hand and show me now
Show me now for my own sake

Well I’ve been having conversations
Lately in my head
Looking for confirmation
There was nothing else instead
There is always a right thing
At any place in time
Only one path to take
Did I take mine?

Where do all of the lifetimes go?
On the roads we didn’t take
Where are the seeds that were left unsown?
By the choices that we make
Turn the tables and turn the tides
On the dreams that never wake
Take my hand and show me now
Show me now for my own sake

I count my blessings each morning
Among them I count you
Still the question keeps forming
Did I do all I can do?

Tell me where do all of the lifetimes go?
On the roads we didn’t take
Where are the seeds that were left unsown?
By the choices that we make
Turn the tables and turn the tides
On the dreams that never wake
Take my hand and show me now
Show me now for my own sake

Well if I had to do it all over
Would I find my way here again?
