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've paid or the changes I've gone through, yeah Changes I've 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 Turned away from God and His love, and I worshipped myself The idols that I've built, all crumbled on my shelf, yeah, yeah, 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
