Before It Began

He traveled up and down these roads
To venture out and become a man,
He started in a familiar place
But ended up in a foreign land,
But as the story usually goes
Nothing quite went as planned.

He was on an endless road
Feeling like a king
Even after the initial bite
The wound still did sting.
It's not an easy thing to do
Even for the toughest man
It was already over
Before it began.

It was already over
Before it began

The same strut was in his walk
The same fire was in his eyes,
Before his child was even born
He'd already said his goodbye.

He was on an endless road
Feeling like a king
Even after the initial bite
The wound still did sting.
It's not an easy thing to do
Even for the toughest man
It was already over
Before it began.

It was already over
Before it began
Before it began
