Long Promised Road Lyrics By The Beach Boys

    so hard to answer future’s riddle
    when ahead is seeming so far behind
    so hard to laugh a childlike giggle
    when the tears start to torture my mind
    so hard to shed the life of before
    to let my soul automatically soar

    but i hit hard at the battle that’s confronting me yeah
    knock down all the roadblocks astumbling me
    throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

    sew up the wounds of evolution
    and the now starts to get in my way
    so what if life’s a revelation
    if the mind speaks of only today
    so real the pain of growing in soul
    of climbing up to reality’s goal

    but i hit hard at the battle that’s confronting me yeah
    knock down all the roadblocks astumbling me
    throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

    long promised road
    trail starts at dawn
    carries on to the season’s ending
    long promised road
    flows to the source gentle force never ending never ending

    so hard to lift the jewelled sceptre
    when the weight turns a smile to a frown
    so hard to drink of passion nectar
    when the taste of life’s holding me down
    so hard to plant the seed of reform
    to set my sights on defeating the storm

    but i hit hard at the battle that’s confronting me yeah
    knock down all the roadblocks astumbling me
    throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
    but i hit hard at the battle that’s confronting me yeah
    knock down all the roadblocks astumbling me
    throw off all the shackles that are binding me down
    but i hit hard at the battle that’s confronting me yeah
    knock down all the roadblocks astumbling me
    throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

    i’d love to see you
    i’d love to see you
    i’d love to see you
    i’d love to see you
    i’d love to see you
