How Many Roads Patrick Godfrey Copyright Apparition Music Inc 2012 SOCAN

You want my address?
Here's how to spell my name.
You should mail your mess to someone who feels the same.
Me? I'm gonna throw my boots
At your soul police
Because I'm saving my message
For those who seek release.

How many roads?
How many sleepless nights?
How many shattered dreams
Until we reach the light?
All these songs
Are filled with memory.
How much compassion will you spare
For those who grieve?
How many roads?

Kristen walked in through my kitchen door.
She said, "I'm seeking prisoners, but there's one thing more.
I've got to to find a way to even the score.
And save those children from the war next door."

How many roads?
How many sleepless nights?
How many shattered dreams
Until we reach the light?
All these songs
All these memories.
How much compassion will you spare
For those who grieve?
How many roads?

I said: Kristen,
I saw a girl out on the corner
She looked a lot like you
With her golden curls
And her eyes cold steel blue
She called me, she said
Hey Mister, I know one thing that is true
Hold on to your heart
When love come through

How many roads?
How many sleepless nights?
How many shattered dreams
Before we reach the light?
All these songs
All these memories
How much compassion will you share
With those who grieve?
How many roads?

Now she sits waiting for the night
Wondering how this all will end
Loved by an enemy
Or betrayed by a friend
Fractured by confusion
Left wandering in the dark
Or freed of all illusion
Just following the spark

How many roads?
How many sleepless nights?
How many shattered dreams
Until we reach the light?
All these songs
All this memory..
How much compassion will you share
With those who grieve?
How many roads?
How many roads?
How many roads?
How many roads?
How many roads?
