They told me about a golden road paved with dreams and 
fame,
I thought I'd try to walk it, get down and play the 
game,
The treasures of the world kept coming, all my dreams 
came true,
But I didn't realise the price I'd paid or the changes 
I've gone through, yeah.

Changes I've gone through.

Clinging to the shape of a fantasy, rolling down the 
slope of desire,
Most of the time spent pulling it out of the fire,
Turned away from God and his love, and I worshipped 
myself,
The idols that I built all crumbled on my shelf, yeah.


But, all along, I realised that if I had to...if I had 
to chose between love and my own sweet lies, love was 
bound to lose.

Yeah, love was bound to lose.

Oh, they told me about a broken road, paved with death 
and shame,
I thought I'd try to find it, get away from playing the 
game,
I finally realised the price he paid for the changes 
I've gone through,
I finally realised the price he paid for the changes 
I've gone through.

Changes I've gone through,
Changes I've gone through.
