Open Road - Roo Panes

Open road, no one stopped you from trying

To lose your load, to find your silver lining

You left my side, because mother let you run and hide

But even from afar I hear you crying

Let me out of this cage, before I swell up with rage

Let me sing to old age before I’m done

Let me shout to the skies that I’m too young to die

And that fate will never stop me from trying

Finally found, the dreaming lived those ties unbound

That quest for peace, that hopeless search for sweet release

You’ve found your feet, but now they only run to meet

A hope that’s hanging loosely whilst your crying

Let me out of this cage, before I swell up with rage

Let me sing to old age before I’m done

Let me shout to the skies that I’m too young to die

And that fate will never stop me from trying

Open road, you will only lead back home

Because you stole the heart, but your heart is still alone

You left my side, and mother let you run and hide

Because wisdom knows the eyes through which you’re crying

Let me out of this cage, before I swell up with rage

Let me sing to old age before I’m done

Let me shout to the skies that I’m too young to die

And that fate will never stop me from trying
