Long Promised Road (Digitally Remastered 04) - The Beach Boys

So hard to answer future's riddle

When ahead is seeming so far behind

So hard to laugh a child-like 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 road blocks a-stumbling 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 road blocks a-stumbling 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 jeweled 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

So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me yeah

Knock down all the road blocks a-stumbling me

Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Oh yeah-eah-eah-eah

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me yeah

Knock down all the road blocks a-stumbling me

Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Oh yeah-eah-eah-eah

Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me yeah

Knock down all the road blocks a-stumbling 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
