Road Less Travelled - Velena MacKay (with lyrics)

Here is a rough version of Velena's first original song 'Road Less Travelled' that she performed in Rotorua (New Zealand) early 2009 at the pheasant plucker open mic night. To hear more of Velena you can check her myspace at http://www.myspace.com/velenamackay

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I stand bemused
Two paths, one unused
Slithering off and away from me
Hidden 'neath snow and reaching weeds
Above me a canopy of yellowwood trees
Desire ignited by mystery

[Verse 2]
I shift my gaze
To the distant, smoggy haze
Everyone has the same seeds to sow
Dismiss your dreams and resentment shall grow
Tread safe and soft along the straight and narrow
Or follow the flight of the sparrow

Don't look down
Unplant
Your feet from the ground
And then
Jump jump onto that merry-go-round

[Chorus 1]
They say, they say: "Straighten up and fly right"
They say, they say: "Do as we do"
But who are they
To pave your way
Just break away and say:
"If you want me, find me on the road...
The road less traveled."

[Verse 3]
Dare I unearth
The satisfaction I know I'm worth
So Baby don't try to force me to stay
You'll waste your breath
'Cause I'll leave anyway
I've never been one to blink and obey
This heart will never lead me astray

So
Take a breath
Get tough
Like a phoenix from death
Rise up
And burn to be that diamond in the rough

[Chorus 2]
They say, they say: "Straighten up and fly right"
They say, they say: "Do as we do"
Why should I let my spirit die to keep feeding a lie
Truth won't leave my side
On the road less traveled.

[Bridge]
The evergreens will sway to and fro
To shield you when the north wind blows
The legions of stars will stand their guard
The rain will cleanse your soul
Lady Moon in all her glory
She'll paint a silver path of fate
And the emerald moss that you'll trod upon
Will soften each step you take

--- instrumental---

[Chorus 3]
They say, they say: "Straighten up and fly right"
They say, they say: "Do as we do"..........
So come with me
Unveil your prophecy
Let us set ourselves free
And be who we wanna be
On the road less traveled.

Step by step, on the road
Step by step, young or old
Step by step
Let your story unfold

C'mon
