Hope dangles on a string
 
−
Like slow spinning redemption
 
−
Winding in and winding out
 
−
The shine of which has caught my eye

−
And roped me in
 
−
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing

I am captivated

[Chorus]

I am Vindicated

I am selfish

I am wrong

I am right

I swear I'm right
 
−
I swear I knew it all along

−
And I am flawed
 
−
But I am cleaning up so well
 
−
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself
 
−
 
−
So clear
 
−
Like the diamond in your ring
 
−
Cut to mirror your intentions
 
−
Oversized and overwhelmed
 
−
The shine of which has caught my eye
 
−
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
 
−
I am certain now that

[Chorus]

So turn

Up the corners of your lips

Part them and feel my finger tips

Trace the moment, fall forever

Defense is paper thin

Just one touch and I'd be in

Too deep now to ever swim against the current

So let me slip away [3x]

So let me slip against the current

Life's like a road that you travel on
 
−
When there's ne day here and the next day gone
 
−
Somethimes you bend and sometimes you stand
 
−
Sometimes you turn your head to the wind
 
−
There's a world outside ev'ry darkened door
 
−
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
 
−
Where brave are free and lovers soar
 
−
Come ride with me to the distant shore
 
−
We won't hesitate
 
−
Break down the garden's gate
 
−
There's not much time left today
 
−
 
−
Life is a highway
 
−
I wanna ride it all night long
 
−
If you're going my way
 
−
I wanna drive it all night long
 
−
 
−
Through all these 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 be there when the light comes in
 
−
Just tell 'em we're survivors
 
−
 
−
Gimme gimme gimme gimme yeah
 
−
If you're going my way
 
−
I wanna drive it all night long
 
−
There was a distance between you and I
 
−
A misunderstanding once
 
−
But now we look in the eye
 
−
 
−
There ain't no load that I can't hold
 
−
Road so rough this I know
 
−
I'll be there when the light comes in

Although the narrator has never heard of an automobile, her life is a journey, even though she has never traveled anywhere.  It has it's up and downs, and rough spots.  But overall it's a positive experience.  It brings people together and closer, as her trials and tribulations only brought her closer to her husband.  But in the end (??) she survives all of the problems (list).

====Karz Theme====
 
−
Album: Bollywood Dream Theme
 
−
Artist: DJ Amit
 
−
 
−
This instrumental track from India tells the story which the narrator travels.  It starts out with her marriage, a magical time full of hope and promise.  As with all Indian celebrations, the oldist is lavishly spoiled while the last in the family has nothing.  Married life starts out slow, with only a daughter for the first few years.  But all of a sudden, it takes off.  Year after year, another son is born.  Then her life is up and down.  From a rich harvest to drought and famine, the narrator's life is very dynamic.  Her life ends as she is forced off her land into the crowded city.  Overall, the energy of this score mirrors the narrator's life.
