"Destination Unknown"

A song I heard recently made me realize what life is all about. Its about exploring and not being afraid to go ahead. Its about taking chances and making the best of opportunities, about doing everything you want to because you only live once.
"Destination Unknown".
You never know where you're headed and that's all part of the adventure.
I love the song.
After listening to it something seems to have clicked in my head and its made all the scattered pieces of my life fall into place. There are beautiful memories and painful ones and some which are beautiful and painful.
It reminds me of the past and what I've been through and where I am now, but it doesn't make me sad. Rather it reassures me that life's like this. Its the journey that matters. Every bit of it is something new. something that makes a very big difference. This is the way you live.You fall and you crawl and you break but you stand up on your feet again. You don't have regrets.
Life is the wind whipping your face, making you feel alive as you race across the highway. Coming at you at full force. The faster you go, the stronger the wind feels. If you stop it doesn't feel windy.

Here are the lyrics.


Destination Unknown.

I see life and it's passin' right before my eyes
And the past is the past don't regret it, time to realize
I need to walk on the wire just to catch my breath,
I don't know how or where but I'm goin' it's all that I have left



It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling runnin' through, my soul


Never took this road before -- destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
Won't be coming back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown


See a chance gotta take it wanna meet my fate
'Cause the last thing I ever wanted was to find out it's too late
No way out when you're in it deeper than the night
There's a light at the end of the tunnel and I see it burning bright


It don't matter where it takes me
Long as I can keep this feeling soarin' through, my soul

Never took this road before -- destination unknown
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
Won't be comin' back this way gotta go it alone
Oh oh oh ohohoh -- destination unknown
