[Verse 1] My grandfather sat beside me When I was just a boy He said, “Don't believe everything you hear, And don't trade truth for noise. Question every answer, Turn every stone you find, And never let somebody else's fear Become the prison of your mind.” [Verse 2] He said, “Chase your dreams with everything Your heart can give away, But when you meet your fears out on the road, Don't turn and run away. Chase those fears with just as much Passion as your dreams, Till they ain't so big behind you As they once appeared to be.” [Chorus] So I kept on walking, I kept on looking wide, I took the roads that called my name And I didn't run and hide. I stumbled, I got back up, I learned along the way, And I never let a “what if” Take a “someday” away. [Verse 3] I've had dreams that pulled me forward, I've had fears that pulled me back, But I learned there's more to living Than staying on the safest track. I left a few stones unturned, But I gave most of them a try, And I don't carry much behind me That I wish I'd never tried. [Chorus] So I kept on walking, I kept on looking wide, I took the roads that called my name And I didn't run and hide. I stumbled, I got back up, I learned along the way, And I never let a “what if” Take a “someday” away. [Bridge] Now the years have got some miles on them, And the road is getting long, But sitting here beneath this evening sky, I know where I belong. No baggage on my shoulders, No sandbags on my wings, Just an old man and a lifetime Of chasing after things. [Final Chorus] So I'll keep on walking, Till there's nowhere left to roam, With a little bit of wisdom And a heart that feels like home. And when I finally look behind me, I hope I can honestly say, I didn't have a perfect life... But I never let it slip away. [Outro] So here's to all those questions, And every road I chose... I'm sitting here smiling With no what-ifs left to hold.
