So Many Paths – Little River Band

The atmosphere is electric
And the minds are on the move
They all know where they’re going
But no one is too sure
I’ve heard a lot of talking
I’ve nearly drowned in their words
And my heart is full of answers
Just as the sky is full of birds
There are so many paths up the mountain
Nobody knows all the ways
There are so many paths up the mountain
And the view from the top is still the same
If you should stumble and fall down
People don’t know what to do
Pretend that they didn’t notice
They’ll sidestep, walk around you
Don’t let it be your worry
No, no don’t let it get you concerned
You’ve got to move on in your own direction
Forget what you’ve ever learned
There are so many paths up the mountain
Nobody knows all the ways
There are so many paths up the mountain
And the view from the top is still the same
Angry voices from the shadows
In the valley the sun don’t shine
Make your mind up which way you’re going
There are, oh, so many paths
There are so many paths up the mountain
Nobody knows all the ways
There are so many paths up the mountain
And the view from the top is still the same
Mmm yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Is still the same
The view from the top is still the same
Wherever you look, it’s still the same
Still the same
Still the same
