It's a Metaphor, guys!

Today's song #1 is Life Is A Highway by Tom Cochrane and the reason I say #1 is because this is my inspirational post for today that kind of relates to my life and I will be writing a second post about family fun and stuff since I do have quite a while. I am picking this song for today for two reasons. The first is that I'm spending about seven hours today on a highway. I am on my way to Tennessee for vacation with my family and I'm very excited! But more on that later! The real reason why I picked this song is because of the lyrics. Even the title itself is a metaphor! Life is a highway! He doesn't mean your life is literally a highway! It is showing a comparison and I hope that just by reading these lyrics you will understand what this guy is trying to say. It's actually a very interesting and true perspective of life and I hope you will take the time to decipher it the way i have.

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore

We won't hesitate break down the garden gate
There's not much left today

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Through all the cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you now like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands

From Mozambique to those Memphis nights

The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll bee there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye

There's no load, I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long

If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long
