Story behind the song
This song deals with the choices we have to make as we move along in life. It also deals with living in the presence instead of the past :)
Lyrics
As we went along the way, dear
There were ups and there were downs
Sometimes we’d take a turn, dear
Never knowing what we’d find
And we crossed a lot of bridges
That we built with our own hands
Where the roads lay out before us
We still chose another path
My memory’s getting weak, dear
I think it’s all filled up
So I live from day to day, dear
And I leave the past alone
It’s much better to be present
Than to be passed on by life
We can always change our future
But we cannot change our past
So as we go along the way, dear
There’ll be bumps and there’ll be holes
We can choose to fill the hole, dear
Or we can choose to walk around.
And we’ll take the very last ferry
When the bridge gets too hard to build
And we’ll find a road to follow
That will lead us to our goal
