I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference

No one thought it was funny

No one thought it was sane

But I burned the candle at both ends

Until I burned out the flame.

I took the road less traveled by

And that has made all the difference

I lost almost every friend

And that nearly became my preference.

I did not care to hear every naysayer

Every negative comment whispered in my ear

I did not care to live life in constant fear.

I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference

Less travelers, less to block my view

More sight, more vision

More ability to know what I must do.

Because the road less traveled by

Means less people by my side.

I took the road less traveled by and that has made all the difference

And when I get to my destination

The place that I had always known

People will surround me and cheer me

And say “You were never alone.”

Yet I will be the wiser and stronger and better man

When all is said and done

Because the road less traveled by

Was where I and I alone had won.
