I take the roads less travelled, I'm on my way
I take the roads less travelled, I'll see you again some day
I take the roads less travelled, well I'm on my way

When I was a young boy, people try to tell me what I should be
And then a wise man sang, decide your own destiny
Aunty said choices you make, chances you take
To be free, to be free, to be free, I got to be brave

I take the roads less travelled, I'm on my way
I take the roads less travelled, I'll see you some day

Now my daddy had a lot of women and my mama had a lot of grief
And the brethrens that surrounded him, became the enemies
'Cause greed can't be satisfied by money and jealousy's a disease
Oh, if you don't learn from history, what a blind man see

I take the roads less travelled, I'm on my way
I take the roads less travelled, see you again one day

The more I love, the more hurt I feel
And that's all right by me, 'cause that's just how I be
I could be like a brother, sold out for a million dollar
I could be like a brother, despising one another

And aunty said choices you make, chances you take
And to be free, to be free, to be free, you got to be brave
