Lyrics[edit | edit source]

I wish I could tell you that you'll get a break
But there's no way to tell just what it would take
One thing I can tell you is how the world will end
It'll end with a whimper and not with a bang

I'm sorry, but it's true
I'm so sorry that it's true
Still, there's something better for you
There's something better for you
There's a secret road

If God had a heart that touched each and everyone
We would reach for each other instead of a knife or a gun
We're like a harvest, our life the staff
Some of us are wheat and some of us chaff

And I'm sorry, but it's true
I'm so sorry that it's true
Still, there's something better for you
There's something better for you
There's a secret road
A secret road

Some people get trapped in the rut and surrender their will
Those people don't make the cut, let's hope they ate their fill
Some people make it, they learn the trick
They make it to the song and they rock in the final mix

And I'm sorry, but it's true
I'm so sorry that it's true
Still, there's something better for you
There's something better for you
A secret road
A secret road

If you know how to choose
If you're aware enough to choose
There's a secret road for you
A secret road for you
A secret road
