OPEN ROAD

A castle I'd build
I started out with nothing, chose the highest hill
A dream to fulfill
That would take all my time, and efforts that would test my will
Had no blueprints, just an image in my head
Had no tools to build with, so I used my hands
As time went slowly by I learned to see
The fortress made of stone wasn't meant for me

Now I'm standing on a highway with an open road in front of me
Got a tank full of gasoline, ready to forget all what used to be
Still got a life ahead although there's one behind
24 / 7, I've built a lie
But now there's me in the driver's seat - With the gear in drive

I see the landscape change
I'm going faster and faster, day by day
Always I'm on my way
To yet another destination by the end of the day
Life's too beautiful to hide behind four walls
This world is too incomparable to leave unexplored
The castle in the rearview mirror, reminding me
Of how far I have come and where I have been

Now I'm driving on a highway with an open road in front of me
With a tank full of gasoline, I'm embracing everything what will be
Still got a life ahead although there's one behind
Everything I've done has got me right here and now
And now it's me in the driver's seat - Come along

Where to is this road leading, I've stopped asking long ago
How long it will take to get there, doesn't matter anymore
I got all the things that I once wished for
But it'll all go away if I don't carry on

I was standing on a highway with an open road in front of me
Had a tank full of gasoline, was ready to forget all what used to be
Still had a life ahead although there's one behind
24 / 7, I built a lie
But it was me in the driver's seat - Shifting the gear into
