The Road Back To Soul

THE ROAD BACK TO SOUL - Written by Carroll Bryant

The hour of the dawn is upon me

I arise to the glory of the vision of life

My mind will capture the moment 

My feet will take me to what I see with sad, lonely eyes

All of the wisdom I have acquired has taught me

That my knowledge knows nothing

Absolutely nothing

As some of what I think I do not believe

And at the point of when life turns full circle

The sun will be shinning on me

And so I fill my pockets full of gold

Take another look at the past and I know

I lost my way somewhere that I didn't want to go

And now I find myself searching for the road back to soul

The timing of a full moon clearly blinds me

I concentrate on useless things 

Come to grips with my despair 

In a momentary lapse of uncommon reason

Strip naked

Take a walk around the block 

And I don't care

All of the people look on with shame at my disguise

They can't look into my eyes or tell the truth

From those bitter lies

And I

To stand before loves majesty 

Standing all alone

And so I fill my pockets full of gold

Take a look into the future and I know

I lost my way somewhere that I didn't want to go 

But now I'm on the road back to soul

I am the president of the government in my own mind

 Let the rain pretend that it's cleansing me

The mist gets in my eyes

I am the the leader of the membership I self provide 

Let the rain pretend it knows me

And somehow I shall survive 

The hour of the midnight is upon me

Like a ghost it stares at me and haunts me

I feel my feet below me but I'm not allowed to run

The picture plays my memory but everything is snowy

And so I fill my pockets full of gold

Take another look at the past and I know

I lost my way somewhere that I didn't want to go

But now I'm on the road back to soul

And so I fill my pockets full of gold

Take a look into the future and I know

I lost my way somewhere that I didn't want to go 

And now I find myself walking down the road back to soul

And now I find myself ... walking down the road back to soul
