  i. so many roads
  ii. star for a day
  iii. the humdrum life
  iv. all the way to the grave
  v. the eyes of the savior
  vi. so many roads reprise
  
  i. so many roads
  kind of feel like i'm reaching forward
  like a wave on the ocean tide
  but there's so many roads to nowhere
  so many places i could try
  but i feel there is one that will go there
  one for me is really right
  and i know that my family loves me
  but i gotta go and take this ride
  
  cause there's so many roads to nowhere
  so many places i could try
  but i feel there is one that will go there
  one for me is really right
  i've waited so long in maybe
  maybe it's time for me to fly
  and search for the one that will save me
  that will lead me in the light
  
  roads to nowhere taking everything i have
  they say, "come on now", you won't ever feel bad
  come and you'll be glad
  and i feel like i have a calling
  but is it only in my mind?
  
  so many roads before me
  so many places i could hide
  but still there is one that is calling
  maybe one i haven't tried
  i've waited so long in maybe
  maybe it's time for me to fly
  and search for the one that will save me
  that will lead me in the light
  
  so many roads, so many roads,
  so many roads to nowhere
  so many roads, so many roads,
  so many roads to nowhere
  so many roads
  
  ii. star for a day
  come on in son our works all fun
  you gotta getcha some california sun
  if you're not sure, who you are
  no personality?
  well we'll invent you one
  we'll make you a star for a day
  you'll get so high that you can fly away
  in a semi-perpetual way
  you'll be living the life
  out on the king's highway
  hey, be a star for a day
  
  the stadium cheers for britney spears
  let's forget about the wounded tender years
  convertible car, a house on the coast
  just take the gig that will pay for the most
  we'll make you a star for a day
  you'll get so high that you can fly away
  in a semi-perpetual way
  you'll be living the life out on the king's highway
  hey, be a star for a day
  
  we'll make you a star for a day
  you'll get so high that you can fly away
  why don't you put yourself into the play
  i'm telling you son this is the only way
  be a star for a day
  
  so many roads, so many roads to nowhere
  so many roads, so many ways to fly
  if god would just show
  show me the way i'd follow
  surely i'd go, but there's so many roads
  so many roads
  
  iii. the humdrum life
  ho ho the humdrum life, here is your security
  make sure that you survive, a wonderful destiny
  have kids and raise them up,
  take a picture of the family
  and once in awhile you show up, to let them see
  you're happy while you work your life away
  
  ho ho take it slow, check it all thoroughly
  make sure you don't stand out,
  this is not the way to be!
  give up your silly dreams, living life fully
  come down the surest road, you can be happy
  while you work your life away
  work your life away
  
  give up your silly dreams, living life fully
  come down the surest road, fulfilling is a fantasy
  dreams won't pay your bills,
  you better come and be like me
  this is the best way to be
  
  so many roads, so many roads to nowhere
  so many roads, so many roads to nowhere
  so many roads, so many roads to nowhere
  so many roads, so many roads to nowhere
  
  iv. all the way to the grave
  get a load of him, he's so insane
  here's some stuff that'll set fire to your brain
  forget it all you can party everyday... hey hey
  live it up! you can be stoned all the way
  all the way to the grave
  
  it's the only thing i really like
  i can do what i want with my own life
  forget it all you can party everyday... hey hey
  live it up! you can be stoned all the way
  all the way to the grave
  
  forget it all you can party everyday... hey hey
  live it up! you can be stoned all the way
  all the way to the grave
  
  so many roads, so many roads,
  so many roads, so many roads
  
  v. the eyes of the savior
  behind door number two there is another life
  one that will satisfy more than you'll ever know
  now it may not appear beautiful in your eyes
  but there's a place where the spirit flies
  that'll lead right up to the throne
  
  before your time is almost gone
  look in the eyes of the savior
  turn your darkness into dawn
  look in the eyes of the savior
  
  if love is the greatest and god's love is greater still
  come whosoever will and let jesus fill your heart
  
  cause your time is almost gone
  look in the eyes of the savior
  turn your darkness into dawn
  look in the eyes of the savior
  
  cause your time is almost gone
  look in the eyes of the savior
  turn your darkness into dawn
  look in the eyes of the savior
  look in the eyes of the savior
  look in his eyes
  
  vi. so many roads reprise
  as i look to the grand horizon
  gazing out at the auburn sky
  there's so many roads before me
  so many ways that i could try
  but i'm seeking the one who will guide me
  how else can i know what's right?
  
  if i trust in the one who loves me
  he will lead me into paths of light
  and there's so many roads before me
  don't let me go down the road of pride
  i know if i only trust in jesus
  he will lead me to the other side
  
  i came to a place in my life
  when i looked out at many roads
  show me the way of the believer
