I’m Goin’ Left
[Chorus]
Yeah, I'm goin' left (I'm goin' left)
'Til you lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left (I'm goin' left)
'Til you lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
[Verse 1]
There's a train (There's a train) people say (People say)
I could ride to get my whole life straight (Whole life straight)
But the bridge (But the bridge) on the way (On the way)
Has a toll too much for me to pay (Me to pay)
Yes, I know (Yes, I know) it must be (It must be)
What I choose could mean my destiny (Destiny)
Lights are green (Lights are green), all is go (All is go)
But my heart keeps telling my mind no (No!)
[Chorus]
I'm goin' left (I'm goin' left)
'Til you lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left (I'm goin' left)
'Til you lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
[Verse 2]
There's a land (There's a land) over there (Over there)
Where all are given equal shares (Equal share)
But what you get (What you get) is so small (Is so small)
It's like never having nothing at all (Nothing at all)
"Take my hand," (Take my hand) says a friend (Says a friend)
I will stick with you until the end ('Til the end)
But I'm in doubt (I'm in doubt), I must decline (Must decline)
'Cause even friends can change their minds (Minds!)
[Chorus]
I'm goin' left (I'm goin' left)
'Til you lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
I'm goin' left (I'm goin' left)
Until you lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm goin' left (I'm goin' left)
Hey, 'til you lead me, oh, to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
Yeah, left, hey (I'm goin' left)
'Til you lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
Ah, be a friend of mine, help me drink the wine (I'm goin' left)
Lead me to the right (Lead me to the right)
Lead me to what is right
Yeah (I'm goin' left)
Lead me to the right
Lead me to what is right
