'Cause the best things that you learn You find out on your way No time for feelin' sorry Just time for being strong When you get where you're going The road's still long Now I see where I come from Now I see where I am Now I see that you never really know So you just gotta do the best you can And that ain't wrong Ooh, that ain't wrong no 'Cause when you get where you're going The road's still long (the road's still long) When you get where you're going The road's still long (the road's still long) When you get where you're going, yeah...
