Martin Orford - The Old Road lyrics

They say the best is yet to come But I can't be the only one To seek out ways from days gone by To shape the way we live our lives That's why we're taking the old road To rediscover things we'd taken for granted Losing the heavy load Try to make the most of every day We're taking the old road Back to where the seeds of wisdom were planted Leaving the race forever And reject the modern way And now the grey's devoured the green All cut to waste by great machines In barren cities they conceived With so many people we can't breathe Seems foolish to look for words That I just can't seem to say In England's pleasant land There's a need for greed I can't understand So we're taking the old road To rediscover things we'd taken for granted Losing the heavy load Try to make the most of every day We're taking the old road Back to where the seeds of wisdom were planted Leaving the race forever And reject the modern way Taking the old road, taking the old road Taling the old road They say the best is yet to come... I remember the days gone by Free from tears and the constant changing We can live like that if we try Step aside from the re-arranging now Moving on to a simpler life Far away from the world's confusion No regrets if we don't comply Walk away from the revolution now Taking the old road To rediscover things we'd taken for granted Losing the heavy load Try to make the most of every day We're taking the old road Back to where the seeds of wisdom were planted Leaving the race forever And reject the modern way God the power to talk for hours To friends you've never seen Since you started to live your life In a made-up world, through a cold flat screen So we're taking the old road To rediscover things we'd taken for granted Losing the heavy load Try to make the most of every day We're taking the old road Back to where the seeds of wisdom were planted Leaving the race forever And reject the modern way
