They told me about a golden road paved with dreams and
fame,
I thought I'd try to walk it, get down and play the
game,
The treasures of the world kept coming, all my dreams
came true,
But I didn't realise the price I'd 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 built all crumbled on my shelf, yeah.
And they all crumbled on my shelf, yeah.
But, all along, I realised that if I had to...if I had
to chose between love and my own sweet lies, love was
bound to lose.
Yeah, love was bound to lose.
Oh, they told me about a broken road, paved with death
and shame,
I thought I'd try to find it, get away from playing the
game,
I finally realised the price he paid for the changes
I've gone through,
I finally realised the price he paid for the changes
I've gone through.
Changes I've gone through,
Changes I've gone through.
