10 Miles To Go On A 9 Mile Road
They tell me miracles abound now more than ever
But I don't care
They say, it's better to be blessed than it is to be clever
But I don't care
Girl, I got ten miles to go on a nine mile road
It's a rocky rough road, but I don't care
For life's nothing if not a blind rambling prayer
You keep your head held high, walkin' and talkin'
'Til the power of love deliver you there
The power of love deliver you there
The power of love deliver you there
The power of love deliver you, you
You don't get nothing for free, 'less of course you steal it
Atleast that's what the people say
The sad irony of love is how so seldom you feel it
Yet, it's all you dream about, night and day
From the splinter in the hand
To the thorn in the heart, to the shotgun to the head
You got no choice but to learn to glean solace from pain
Or you'll end up cynical or dead
Me, I got ten miles to go on a nine mile road
And it's a rocky rough road, but I don't care
For life's nothing if not a blind rambling prayer
You keep your head held high
Walkin' and talkin' and talkin' and walkin'
'Til the power of love deliver you there
(Power of love)
The power of love deliver you there
(Power of love)
The power of love deliver you there
(Power of love)
The power of love deliver you, there
(Power of love)
Sometimes you throw yourself into the sea of faith
And the sharks of doubt come and they devour you
Other times you throw yourself into the sea of faith
Only find the treasure lost in the shipwreck inside of you
There ain't no guarantees, none of that nonsense like on TV
Just gotta roll the dice, and take your lumps
You're gonna get yourself knocked down
So better learn to stand back up for those who dwell on disaster
Let sorrow be their master
Me, I got ten miles to go on a nine mile road
It's a rocky rough road, but I don't care
'Cause life's nothing if not a blind rambling prayer
You keep your head held high, walkin' and talkin"
'Til the power of love deliver you there
(Power of love)
The power of love deliver you there
(Power of love)
The power of love deliver you there
(Power of love)
The power of love deliver you there
(Power of love)
My buddy Phillip works as a gas station attendant
Strangers call his name to him a thousand times a day
They don't know him, they're just asking Phillip for a fill-up
Funny, how fate plays tricks on us, that way
The power of love
The power of the power of love
(Power of love)
The power of the power of love
(Power of love)
The power of the power of love
(Power of love)
