Lyrics
Route 50
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm sitting on the freeway next to my iron baby Robbie
I see miles and miles ahead, a vast expanse of asphalt, dirt and air
I have the company of a goddess chirping in the sky, flying at sunset
My heart is screaming for a love that is gone
My body wound and my soul is in unbearable pain
Well, I'm alone on the loneliest road
See, I cannot think of giving up
I have to be cautious and very safe
To Stock up on provisions and groceries
Removing hatreds and resentments
God, tell me how can I understand your sacred designs?
Why do you leave scoundrels and murderers acting on earth?
Why do you lead the purest souls?
The most remarkable minds?
Even more the lovely smiles?
Tell me, God!
From the deep of my soul and my heart, why do you allow war?
Why do you let your children starve to death in your home?
Why do you allow fanatics to kill on your behalf?
Why do you allow bloodthirsty dictators to stay alive?
They made a covenant with whom must not be name
Tell me! Why?
You abandoned us!
For the demons and worms!
Tell me! Why?
You abandoned us!
For the killers!
For the wicked!
For the rapists!
For the corrupt liars!
Why?
I'm running at night on the freeway, under Robbie's lighthouse
Having as companions the waning Moon, the faraway stars
And the vastness of nature
I try to leave behind all that I lived
And for her my despaired tears of longing and hopelessness
However, as the night falls gloomy on my shoulders
I am sure that a beautiful new day will be born and life will follow its own path
Gently I say, life goes on, in many ways
