Leave the Door Open Wide

Our Own Road

An original acoustic folk-rock song

Style for Treblo: 1970s acoustic folk rock, warm twelve-string guitar, gentle bass, light hand percussion, earthy male vocals, soft harmonies, open-air feeling, slow steady rhythm, no electric guitar solos. A feeling of freedom, hope, and love without pressure.

Verse 1

We all have roads we travel,

Some are smooth, some are stone.

We carry old mistakes with us,

And dreams we call our own.

The world can say which way to turn,

And tell us what is right.

But every heart must find its way

Beneath the stars at night.

Chorus

You can walk your road,

I can walk mine.

We don't have to lose each other

Just because the roads divide.

Keep your family beside you,

Keep your dreams alive.

Love should never close a door,

Or ask a heart to hide.

We can choose our own road,

And leave the door open wide.

Verse 2

Life is not a promise

That tomorrow will be here.

So why should we throw love away

Because somebody lives in fear?

We are human, we are learning,

We get lost and start again.

There is room for different stories,

There is room to understand.

Chorus

You can walk your road,

I can walk mine.

We don't have to lose each other

Just because the roads divide.

Keep your family beside you,

Keep your dreams alive.

Love should never close a door,

Or ask a heart to hide.

We can choose our own road,

And leave the door open wide.

Bridge

I won't ask you to surrender

All the things that make you you.

I just hope that when you look ahead,

There's room for me there, too.

No chains around tomorrow,

No fear to make us stay.

Just two hearts with the freedom

To choose their own way.

Final Chorus

You can walk your road,

I can walk mine.

Maybe somewhere down the journey,

Both our paths will intertwine.

Keep your family beside you,

Keep your freedom in your hands.

Love is not about controlling;

It's about the way we understand.

We can choose our own road,

With a little hope to guide us home.

Outro

The road is long, the sky is wide,

There's room for you and me.

And if we choose to walk together,

Let it be because we're free.
