THE HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE

THE HIGHWAY TO NOWHERE




I’m on a highway to nowhere
Sometimes don’t even know where I’m coming from
Sometimes I don’t even care
Because I know where I’m at
And that is all I need
To curb my inner fears


You got to run your own race
You’re not in competition with anyone
So set your own pace
There’s miles to go before it’s over
So just relax
And along the way have some fun


Back on the highway to nowhere
All the cars go flying by
I’m tempted to try to pick up the pace
But then I let it slide
I’m just trying to stay within myself
I’m not reaching for the sky


The highway to nowhere
Where does it begin
Where does it end
How many of us know where we are going
How many of us know where we’ve been


I’ve been on the highway to nowhere
Too many times in my life
I’ll be on the highway to nowhere
Probably too many times again
But right now I’m in the pits
Charting a highway to somewhere
So I know where I’m at
And that’s all I need
To curb my inner fears


You have to run your race
You have to set your own pace
You’re not in competition with anyone
Your only goal should be to get there
And along the way to have some fun


Standing in the pits and looking out on to the highway to nowhere
All the people flying by
Think they’re getting ahead
But they keep going around in circles
Over and over and over again
Wonder if they know where they began
Wonder if they know they’ll never reach the end


Back on the highway to nowhere
But I think I’m going somewhere
Because I’m running my own race
I’m setting my own pace
Some people keep passing me over and over again
But they keep winding up behind me
They don’t even know where they’ve been
That’s the way it is
On the highway to nowhere

Ps “I have seen something else under the sun


The RACE is not to the swift
Or the battle to the strong
Nor does food come to the wise
Or wealth to the brilliant
Or favor to the learned
But time and chance happen to them all” Ecclesiastes 9:11


“I have fought the good fight
I have finished the RACE
I have kept the faith” 2 Timothy 4:7


“Therefore since we are surrounded
By such a great cloud of witnesses
Let us throw off everything that hinders
And the sin that so easily entangles
And let us run with perseverance
The RACE marked out for us” Hebrews 12:1
