Welcome To A Road Less Traveled

I found this song while searching for something else on the Internet. I don't know why, really, but it spoke volumes to me. It is currently playing on my blog, but I am also linking it for when I change music on the blog. I believe what I got out of it may not be the intent of the author, but I believe this is one of those songs that can fit other scenarios as well, not to exclude oppression.

Here are the lyrics. You may click on the title to save a copy for yourself, but please be sure and source out who it belongs to.

No Matter What

Boyzone
Andrew Lloyd Webber (music)/Jim Steinman(lyrics)

No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true


No matter what they call us
However they attack
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back


I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what


If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say


No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach you
What you believe is true


And I will keep you safe and strong
And sheltered from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born


No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need


No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you


I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what
