Story Behind The Song

Just thinking about life and how sometimes you can get off track to what really matters.

Song Description

On the road of life, there are many roads to travel. Sometimes there are detours that help educate us to what life really can be about.

Lyrics

I came upon a fork in the road
The warning signs I did not see
Bear right and go straight through is what I was told
To become what you want to be

Oh but something made me veer to the left
Most definitely..., curiosity
Now I've found myself on the detour of my life
And I've seen what you wouldn't believe

Oh, but I'll be OK
Cause in a roundabout way
I've deviated from the route
I was about to take

I'm hoping this route will lead me back
In a way that'll get my life back on track
Oh what was this digression for?
How'd I ever get on this detour?

Oh I'm not sure, not sure what to do
Turn around and go back
Or continue.... on through?

Have valor, keep faith
Own knowledge, don't wait
Bear gumption, find love
Keep spirit, from above

Stay strong, save face
Apply judgment, meet fate
Grow heart and make peace
Gain courage, stay free

And I'm hoping this route will lead me back
In a way that'll get my life back on track
What oh what was this digression for?
How'd I ever get on this detour?

And I'm hoping this route will lead me back
In a way that'll get my mind back on track
What oh what was this diversion for?
And how'd I ever get on this detour?
