Lyrics
The soulman finds the faithful
At the crossroads
His calling bears the weight
Of another man's load
The strongman meets the winsome
At the crossroads
Holds you when you’re falling
An anchor and a rope
The mischief maker’s prompted
At the crossroads
Ain't trouble that he seeks
But it shapes the way he grows
The conflicted seeks perfection
At the crossroads
Her song’s in the key of life
It’s her art, don’t you know?
The enigma is a mystery
At the crossroads
Ephemeral as the spirit
Lights the way he goes
<<2>>
The songsmith finds his muse
At the crossroads
He's a suitcase full of talent
With a lid that'll never close
The siren leaves the 'farers
At the crossroads
Catch me if you can, she says
Y'got a long, long way to go
He don't care what it takes
Knows he reaps what he sows
The jester shares the laughter
At the crossroads
He can take you to a party
Or take you down the road
The peaceful find harmony
At the crossroads
She's oil on troubled waters
Takes the rough out of the road
<<3>>
The rebound meets the runner
At the crossroads
An eagle eye and a volley shot
The arc of a perfect throw
The trustful finds the carer
At the crossroads
He’s a treasure from the north
His grin's the mother lode
The hearty finds the joyful
At the crossroads
Got the world in her hands
She’s the centre of the show
The scholar seeks his mentor
At the crossroads
Knowledge chasing wisdom
And what the world don't yet know
The nurturer leaves goodness
At the crossroads
No charge for her love
No prize for letting go
