Lyrics
"The Next Mile"
Verse I
Down the path of least resistance
in a sea of green lights
Lies another left turn that should have been right
Deep in the distance
lies an all of your dreams
Past the virtues of patience and faint memories
Pre-Chorus
When your feeling your getting nowhere
And your breathing in the wrong kind of air
Take one last breath, one last rest
and take that next step
Chorus
To the next mile, To the next Mile
To the next mile, To the next mile
Just pretend that your blind to the obstactles that you find
And keep fight...ing your way thru time
To the next mile
Verse II
In the shadows they hide
all the voices that tempt you
trying to keep you behind in the dark of the blue
In the glimmers of hope
There's room to believe
Past excuses you've made into a great big sea
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge
Today is worth ten tomorrows
So make today worthwhile, on your way to the next mile
Take one last breath, one last rest and take that next step
