Broken Road - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

In how many ways, can you break my spirit down, again

And how many times, have I peeled my face up off the ground, for you

In case that you're starting, to think you can run my life, I'd think again

Or cripple my faith, when you judge and criticize me... but I'm still standin'

I don't know if I can say, I've lived through everything

But I've walked this earth alone with bare feet broken in the snow

And my father said to me, it never seems to be

A simple walk down an icy cold broken road

Disgraced and ashamed, afraid to walk the line, again

Controlled for too many years, but never once forgiven, for my sins

And I never thought I'd say, that I'm weaker today, than I was yesterday, old man

But I'll fight as I always fight, with what's inside of me, this warrior spirit inside of me

I don't know if I can say, I've lived through everything

But I've walked this earth alone with bare feet broken in the snow

And my father said to me, it never seems to be

A simple walk down an icy cold broken road

And time after time

A man who couldn't be a man.. I'm alone, but I'm alive

And been taught to believe what's meant to be, will be

I don't know if I can say, I've lived through everything

But I've walked this earth alone with bare feet broken in the snow

And my father said to me, it never seems to be, yeah

A simple walk down an icy cold broken road, again

An icy cold broken road... old man

I guess I'll never know, but I've been told

It's an icy cold broken road
