Who built the road that led to my self esteem? Twisted and crushed, black metal and bones Who passed the buck? Who pressed my flesh to yours? Spilling like wine and sweeter than tears
Oh, I hope we more than survive With trembling visions that terrify So who built the road? Who turned it all around? Picked through the wreck scrambled in the dust
Who built the road? Who was the foolish one? Step at a time, two hearts in the fire Who lit the touch? Who fanned the flames? With sparks in the dust, spent rivers of desire
Oh, why don't we learn from mistakes? We stumble along with so many more to make So who built the road? Who could foresee? That the answers we sought were many miles to go
We were so lonely at times Fading away, sitting side by side And we built the road, we were the chain gang The cross that I bore the devil at my side Dark angel within the everlasting fire
