Crossroads - Stripped In Manhattan C.D.

Lyrics

I am standing at the cross roads I anticipate my fate But I’ve not the time to dawdle No, I’ve not the time to wait For my fortune’s overdue you see And I’m ready for what’s meant to be For I’ve carried stones And crumbled walls But wishes drown And stars don’t fall Now I know you’ve seen it all before Many times Many wars Many doors Well I face my adversaries And they look a lot like me And I’d like to stop and carry Someone’s load but can’t they see There are bridges I have yet 2 cross And I can not risk that kind of loss For I’ve carried stones And crumbled walls Still wishes drown And stars don’t fall I know you’ve heard it all before But in truth I’ve only just begun to ask for more Now I look on the inside for ­you And I look on the inside for me And I look on the inside to see If maybe on the inside I can find my destiny Shouldn’t I be cautious of the burdens I still bear Oh that I could make them disappear into thin air For I’m here to forge the cross road But my feet still hesitate And I turn to see the faces as the line behind me waits But I can not leave them all behind So I reach out to hand that’s kind Who’s carried stones & crumbled walls Whose wishes drowned & stars don’t fall Friend I know you’ve seen it all before But in truth I’ve only just begun to ask for more Now I look on the inside for you And I look on the inside for me And I look on the inside to see If maybe on the inside I can find my destiny Yeah I look on the inside for you And I look on the inside for me And I look on the inside to see If maybe on the inside I can find my destiny And I know you’ve seen it all before many times many ways many doors
