The Nowhere

I’m traveling down the road and going nowhere
At least it seems that way from where I stand today
If wisdom really comes from getting older
It doesn’t feel like much has come my way

Because I worked the same job everyday twenty years
Just to see it end up bankrupt like the rest
And of course there’s nothing left to show for trying
And no one has an answer back even when they’re pressed

I swear I’ve hatеd sending out my letters
Rеaching out “to whom it may concern”
If they only knew me and my good intentions
They’d see their way to get a good return

Well, at least we had enough to pay for weddings
My daughters are in someone else’s hands
And when it’s coming down to that only boy of mine
He thinks he’ll make a living, playing in a band

I’m going nowhere but up from here
And the sun still shines in the end, I still believe

It’s so hard to understand the things I’ve been through
A wife who took an illness to the grave
And I stood and watched her as she never asked for pity
Because she knew the end would find her saved

You can’t always come up with some explanation
For the things that we choose to do or just ignore
And in the final moment there’s no regretting the decision
To open up your heart when God is knocking at the door

[Chorus]
I’m going nowhere but up from here
And the sun still shines in the end, I still believe
I’m going nowhere but up from here
And the sun still shines in the end, I still believe
I’m going nowhere but up from here
And the sun still shines in the end, I still believe
