about

Written by Mark Mandeville for the play May A Road Rise Up, performed at the Factory Theater, Chicago IL - written by Shannon O'Neill

lyrics

CHORUS:
Leaving the past behind, coming to terms with time
Casting out meanness, shedding off sorrow
When we are lost sometimes, often a road may rise
Along we follow

They say life is but a circle, round and round we go
Some of us are running away from any ghosts
While some of us are standing still, frozen by the thought
That moving on would change us in a way we wouldn’t want

Would we forget about our loved ones, snuff out all the flames
Bury all our memories and hang our heads in shame
Would we carry on our shoulders all of the burdens and the blames
And continue round our circles til the last laps of our days

Along we follow

Along we follow

One can spend forever wondering, standing in one place
Weighed down by those feelings and afraid of any change
But it only takes a moment, a tiny little spark
That flame alive again is now a beacon in the dark


Often times I’d asked myself, “oh, where’d we’d be tonight”
And question how you’d feel to know I’d wasted all this time
Where once the guilt of losing you had shut out every dawn
The midnight of our suffering is giving way to moving on

CHORUS:
Leaving the past behind, coming to terms with time
Casting out meanness, shedding off sorrow
When we are lost sometimes, often a road may rise
Along we follow
