Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wanna be a face in a crowd of faces
I wanna be a man with no name
I wanna be lost without signs or traces
I wanna erase the mark of shame
[Verse 2]
You see, I
I wanna say the words I've left unspoken
And do the right for the wrongs I've done
Along the way
If I could unbreak the hearts I've broken
Hope I stand forgiven in the days to come
[Chorus]
On the road to Zion
On the road to Zion
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Wanna be a rock in stormy weather
Overcome the mark of Cain
Unwrite the Scarlet Letter
Go back in time and start again
[Verse 4]
I, I wanna take the road to better places
And have the faith of a brand new man
Along the way
I wanna feel the warmth of old embraces
And build a castle from a grain of sand
[Chorus]
On the road to Zion
On the road to Zion
Oh, oh
The road to Zion
[Verse 5]
Pray the Father bless me with purpose
I'm trying to reach the higher ground
On the road to Zion
[Bridge]
Pray the Father bless me
I tried with all my might
Till a pathway could be found, yeah, oh
There will be a new beginning
When I reach the higher ground
[Chorus]
On the road to Zion
[Outro]
I may not be perfect
But I hope that my heart's in the right place
On the road to Zion
Oh on the road
Father, bless my way every day
On the road to Zion
Oh
Road to Zion
Pray the Father bless me with purpose
I know I'm not the perfect man
On the road to Zion
But I try to be, now understand
Oh
Oh
I'm just trying to reach the higher ground
