CROSSROADS

(Don McLean)

 

I've got nothing on my mind: nothing to remember,

Nothing to forget, I've got nothing to regret,

But I'm all tied up on the inside,

No one knows quite what I've got;

And I know that on the outside

What I used to be, I'm not anymore.

 

You know I've heard about people like me,

But I never made the connection.

They walk one road to set them free

And find they've gone the wrong direction.

 

But there's no need for turning back

`cause all roads lead to where I stand.

And I believe I'll walk them all

No matter what I may have planned.

 

Can You remember who I was? Can You still feel it?

Can You find my pain? Can You heal it?

Then lay Your hands upon me now

And cast this darkness from my soul.

You alone can light my way.

You alone can make me whole once again.

 

We've walked both sides of every street

Through all kinds of windy weather.

But that was never Our defeat

As long as We could walk together.

 

So there's no need for turning back

`cause all roads lead to where We stand.

And I believe We'll walk them all

No matter what We may have planned.

I don't know what was Don McLean's intention when he wrote this song in the 70's, But now, I find this song with a new meaning - a prayer to my God... I am "rewriting" the meaning of this song - when we are on the crossroads of our lives.....
