Mana Road Lyrics

Back in the day I remember crossing with my Pa

From the Saddle to Waimea in his bust up Tacoma

Through the rain and sun and fog and mud we bounced our way along

Sometimes news and sometimes views and sometimes we'd sing a song

But I'll never forget the wisdom he bestowed

When he said my boy, life is like Mana Road

Mana Road, Mana Road

Well, the changing tides they swept me far away from my home

Through the twists and turns of fate and mysteries unknown

And I tried to live in a way that would make him proud

Every uphill battle, every time I was lost in the crowd

His words would return from so many years ago

When he said my boy, life is like Mana Road

Mana Road, Mana Road

And the road, Mana Road, it can always show you something new

Gotta live in flow and try to understand what the road is telling you

And my boy, keep your soul as light as a feather

Always do your best if you can try to get a little bit better

Road leads to road and sometimes they bring you back

And the voices of our past help guide us through the black

My own son sits beside me now, he carries on my name

And it reminds me that the more things change the more they stay the same

So, I tell him, son, in the world every man needs a code

And I say my boy, Life is like Mana Road

Mana Road, Mana Road

And the road, Mana Road, it can always show you something new

Gotta live in flow and try to understand what the road is telling you

And my boy, keep your soul as light as a feather

Always do your best, if you can try to get a little bit better
