[Verse 1] A road runs through every man’s chest, Silent, waiting, dust at rest. Some walk steady, some drift away, Some never know a choice was made. [Verse 2] A whisper, a tremor, a flicker, a sign, The weight of a soul is the weight of the mind. Light as breath or heavy as stone, Bound to the path or forever alone. [Chorus] Oh, the weight of a soul, rising, falling, Follows the voice that keeps on calling. Lost in shadow or pulled by the light, Only the way makes the burden right. [Verse 3] No chain is heavier than what we deny, No fire burns colder than dreams left behind. Turn from the sun and the soul bends low, Turn toward the work and the burden goes. [Outro] Close your eyes—hear the wind, Feel the road, step again. Night will pass, dawn will show, And you will know the weight of your soul.
