Golden Road

They told me about a golden road paved with dreams and fame
I though I'd try to walk it-get down and play the game
The treasures of the world kept comin'...all my dreams came true
But I didn't realize the price I'd paid for the changes I'd gone through,
Changes I'd gone through
Clinging to the shape of a fantasy, rolling down the slope of desire
Most of the time spent pulling it out of the fire
I turned away from God and His love, and I worshipped myself
The idols that I'd built, all crumbled on my shelf,
They all crumbled on my shelf
But all along I realized
That if I had to
If I had to choose
Between love an' my own sweet lies
Love was bound to lose, yeah, love was bound to lose

They told me about a broken road paved with death and shame
I though I'd try to find it... get away from playing the game
I finally realized the price He paid for changes I've gone though
I finally realized the price He paid for Changes I've gone though
Changes I've gone though
