LONELY ROAD
by Mark Heard
from the album Dry Bones Dance
Submitted by Joel Lurvey jlurvey@pillsbury.mpls.k12.mn.us
Am Em
Not taking note of the fools or the wise
Am D
Being a pawn of time and chance
Am Em
Not making vows when the flood waters rise
F Em Am
Is simpler than nails through your hands
Being a slave to the sultans of grief
Keeping the hand to the plow
Being held captive to public belief
Is easier than thorns through your brow
D G Am
And it’s a lonely road
D G Am
And it’s a lonely road
D G Am
And it’s a lonely road
Em
That the Son of Man walks down
Being immune to the war of the heart
And never wondering why
To bury the conflict deep in the dark
Is safer than spears through your side
And it’s a lonely road
And it’s a lonely road
And it’s a lonely road
That the Son of Man walks down
For him who burns with a creed and a flame
Words are as smoke on the wind
Some kind of volatile helplessness reigns
And can’t fill the hearts of his kin
To go and enlighten the doomed and unwashed
Seized with the art of sacrifice
To carry the weight of a martyr-at-large
Is easier than giving your life
And it’s a lonely road
And it’s a lonely road
And it’s a lonely road
That the Son of Man walks down
