Title:
“Road Less Traveled”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] The sun dips down, [D] the stars take flight,
[Em] We’re on the road less traveled, [C] chasing the night.
[G] A thousand miles, [D] a million dreams,
[Em] We’re the lost boys, [C] the wayward teens.
(Chorus)
[G] We’re Wonderful Direction, [D] the voice of your heart,
[Em] Traveling roads less taken, [C] making our mark.
[G] We’re the echoes of the starlight, [D] the whispers of the wind,
[Em] We’re the voice in your silence, [C] the song that never ends.
(Verse 2)
[G] Day by day, [D] night by night,
[Em] We’re on the road less traveled, [C] embracing the light.
[G] With every chord, [D] with every rhyme,
[Em] We’re telling your stories, [C] one song at a time.
(Chorus)
[G] We’re Wonderful Direction, [D] the beat in your soul,
[Em] Dancing on the edge of dreams, [C] making you whole.
[G] We’re the whispers in the shadows, [D] the laughter in the rain,
[Em] We’re the rhythm in your heartache, [C] the balm for your pain.
