Every Road

Every road will get you somewhere…
Those places where you’ve never thought you’d go.
Every day’s another lesson
A thought you didn’t know you didn’t know.
Every life’s a buried treasure
Just dig a little deeper to be found.
And every road has its surprises
Both the simple and profound.
 
Every step will get you closer
To spaces where you think you want to be.
Every choice and each decision
Will unfold to reveal the mystery.
Every word‘s a seed that’s planted
That one day might, if you’re lucky, sprout new life.
And every road will get you somewhere
Step on up and roll the dice.

Every morning is a present
And every single night’s another chance.
Every dream’s a new beginning
To break out of your well worn circumstance.
Every face another smile,
Of another brother, sister, or a friend.
And every road will get you somewhere
No such thing as a dead end.
