The Road to 42nd Street - And beyond

Write our story in a book of care worn pages
tell them how we passed this way in easy laughter
write a chapter on those lonely stormy days
when no money kept our dreams worth chasing after

Tell them all about those ragged roads of failure
how those lessons showed the only way to be
how we shed the chains of self held limitations
chasing early daybreaks where the road ahead is free

Pack us a sack of light beginnings
don’t let that baggage weigh us down
we’ll give each other stamina and comfort
holding tight an easy smile to scare off every frown

The only way to live is keep on dreaming
blow the dust away that settles on our plans
keep a weathered eye on magnetising prospects
we can make it if we keep on holding hands

Every mountain is included in our picture
the flame of all that future keeps on burning
all those valleys with a warm and friendly welcome
each direction is worldly voyage turning

Pack us a sack of light beginnings
don’t let that baggage weigh us down
we’ll give each other stamina and comfort
holding tight an easy smile to scare off every frown
