holy shit am I the only one who listens to this tune .. John's best ever and boy he has lots of great songs.. i' still crying listening to this tune.. Tanks again John.. B..
John wrote this song along with Murray Mclaughlin. The other song on the same album, Journey, that is written by John is dedicated to his brother, Michael. Michael died at a young age due to alcoholism that the family tried to help him conquet but wasn't to be. It's a dark song and very heart wrenching. Give it a listen and see.

This is one of two songs that John actually wrote. The inspiraton came from his dad telling his twelve children to always go to the end of the road. I know they understood his meaning. This is a beautiful and meaningful song.
We leave the shore on the sea of life / we sink if we don’t swim / sure as the sun will rise again / we’re whistling in the wind The springtime comes and all’s made new / New life stands straight and tall / Made more sweet because you know someday / Everything withers and falls How can we know how life will unfold / When we cannot see the road / Through the mists of time the path unwinds / To the end of the road we go We sing brave songs as we march along / As though we were off to the fair / We grasp at what glitters / And find all along / We’re just grabbing some handful of air And we lean on each other to mend our hearts / When we’re beaten and burdened with care / ‘Till we find that the child that we thought we’d lost / Was always inside us somewhere How can we know how life will unfold / When we cannot see the road / Through the mists of time the path unwinds / To the end of the road we go / How can we know how life will unfold / When we cannot see the road / Through the mists of time the path unwinds / To the end of the road we go / To the end of the road
