Walkin' on gravel in this time Tryin' to separate this confusion and crime Ideologies philosophies tryin' to save my day Walkin' on gravel things stay same way So I take a trip to a foreign lan' Hopin' they might have a plan They had a plan. no solution. more confusion They were walkin' on gravel just like me everyone tryin to be free Lookin' on the childhood I once knew Wonderin' why my dreams never came true Thinkin' on the good things when I die Tryin' to get my piece of the pie But I was. Walkin' on gravel in those times Politicians and priests commitin' more crimes So I walk the road hopin' to find What is this confusion in my time The quest to know when where and why The quest to separate truth from lie Frustration disillusions cover my track But this is no time for turnin' back With my bare feet on the ground Walkin' on gravel I know where I am bound So I take a look what do I see Rich and poor in agony Waitin' on that Judgement day Hopin' there will be a delay Walkin' on gravel the road is long Walkin', walkin' have to be strong So I walk the road round and around Always returnin' to the same ground Three hundred and sixty degrees. if you please The road has neither start nor end Neither points not even a bend So I stopped to look in the great book Now you may ask what did I see But it was the solution to this mystery After goin' round and around all this time I found that the confusion was in my mind This mystery is there you can see The truth lives within' you and me
