It's A Long Road That Has No Turn lyrics

Emma worked a lifetime toward her better life She built up her shelter in the prayers of younger nights She made hard choices, she measured every one Somehow she carried with her what she was running from Chorus: It's a long road that has no turn You need a little rest to accept what you have learned Then you will turn Emma gave him everything and vowed to leave no scars Still the child she loved chose the darkness of the bars Where did she go wrong? She tries hard to recall She has seen her love not make a difference at all (Chorus) Leave those dreams down on the side of that road You can stand there forever, but you can't make them get up and go Believe me, I know Emma walked a lifetime down that almighty road Missing all the signposts, looking out for holes and stones Sometimes life leaves you threadbare to the bone And strips away every voice but the one that is your own (Chorus) You will turn You will turn
