Road By Road

I was a child with visions, cursed and convicted no one could understand

They took me to the river, in a trial by water, bound my feet and hands

I can still feel myself sinking to the bottom like a heavy stone

That was just one trip I remember for my old soul

Just before dawn, I could see their shadows outside my teepee

There was fire everywhere, smoke filled the air, and all I heard were screams

I can still feel the horses' thunder on the ground as I tried to run

Took an arrow to the heart in the burning field, but I'm still not done

Life by life road by road

'Til I get where I'm supposed to go
