about

AS WE GO

The man walked down a long road named Vita Way. During his travels he threw rocks at windows and trampled on flower gardens. This went on for many years. One day a strong wind came and swept and rolled the man through a forest and out the other end. He got up and found himself standing in front of two roads. One was lit by white light and the other by a fire red glow. The man didn't know which road to take.

What could he do?

lyrics

As We Go
(Words & music by Michael Mazzarella)

Ever wonder when things will come to be?
With everything all right
Or is this a dream?

I don't try to think about it
It can never be

I once knew a girl
She never had a dime
She was never down
Never had to fight

But she needed many lovers just to get her by
Then she lost the only love who ever gave her time

You have to pay as you go
Pay as you go

In a younger time
I did lie and cheat
But as I went by
I have come to see

Nothing other really matters
Except your legacy

You have to pay as you go
Pay as you go

In my quiet time and ahead of me
Are the moments that will tell me
Where I need to be

I better make a quick decision
Of the road I better be on
When the final light goes out
And in my darkness I shall be

I have to pay as I go
Pay as I go
