Lyrics
I used to be a passenger
Camouflaged as traveler
A tourist of confident
But in the back, I would ask
Why are you taking me here?
I used to be an occupant
Of someone else’s monument
A prisoner of insecure
Now I’m making a move
I choose the driver’s chair
(The wheels are) The wheels are turning
(Turning) The road is open
(I am) I'm committed
(Going away) I am focused
Heading in my chariot away
(Passing ego) Passing ego
(And doubt) Severing doubt
I have learned to (I am)
Go without (Going)
Driving an accelerated pace
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
Steady I will leap (Steady I will leap)
Forward on my journey (Forward on my journey)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
My old beliefs
(The wheels are) The wheels are turning
(Turning) The road is open
(I am) I'm committed
(Going away) I am focused
Heading in my chariot away
(Passing ego) Passing ego
(And doubt) Severing doubt
I have learned to (I am)
Go without (Going)
Driving an accelerated pace
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
On a pioneer’s highway
