lyrics

Started on the right path
Then got off track
Wish I knew where I was going
Before I started looking back

I woke up from a daydream
To a life I didn't recognize
(I) wish I could have seen the light
Before it opened up my two blind eyes

Cracks in the road can't block my way
I'm gonna walk along the path to a brighter day
Cracks in the road can't block my way
I'm gonna walk along that path

Going down a one-way highway
With no way to turn around
Gotta get my head together
Gotta get my feet back on the ground

Cracks in the road can't block my way
I'm gonna walk along the path to a brighter day
Cracks in the road can't block my way
I'm gonna walk along that path

Spent too much time in the dark
Shot for the moon but I missed the mark
(But) even though my back is against the wall
I've still got time to make sense of it all

Cracks in the road can't block my way
I'm gonna walk along the path to a brighter day
Cracks in the road can't block my way
I'm gonna walk along that path to a brighter day
