They told me about a golden road paved with dreams and fame
I though I'd try to walk it-get down and play the game
The treasures of the world kept comin'...
all my dreams came true
But I didn't realize the price
I've paid or the changes I've gone through, yeah
Changes I've gone through

Clinging to the shape of a fantasy, rolling down the slope of desire
Most of the time spent pulling it out of the fire
Turned away from god and his love, and I worshipped myself
The idols that I've built, all crumbled on my shelf, yeah, yeah,
They all crumbled on my shelf

But all along I realized
That if I had to
If I had to choose
Between love an' my own sweet lies
Love was bound to lose, yeah, love was bound to lose

They told me about a broken road paved with death and shame
I though I'd try to find it...get away from playing the game
I finally realized the price he paid for changes I've gone though
I finally realized the price he paid for changes I've gone though
Changes I've gone though
