This didn't quite land where I'd hoped, but I like the concept and will go back to polish/edit. Not sure which lines or concepts are keepers yet, so feel free to chime in with your likes and dislikes.
Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Every step is a gamble
As I push my way
Through this thorny bramble
Every step is a chance
I can't go back
Got no choice but to advance
CHORUS
I'm traveling
The road that is unpaved
I may be foolish
I may be brave
Though uncertain
I'm thankful to have stayed
Traveling down
The road that is unpaved
VERSE2
This terrain is uneven
No map for guidance
Only instinct to believe in
This rocky road beneath my feet
May throw me off balance
But in the end I won't be beat
CHORUS
I'm traveling
The road that is unpaved
I may be foolish
I may be brave
Though uncertain
I'm thankful to have stayed
Traveling down
The road that is unpaved
BRIDGE
I may slip
I may fall
Some days I'll run
Some days I'll crawl
I'll get cut
And I'll get bruised
Cuz this unpaved road
Is seldom used
CHORUS
I'm traveling
The road that is unpaved
I may be foolish
I may be brave
Though uncertain
I'm thankful to have stayed
Traveling down
The road that is unpaved

Relatable & well written.
Beautiful, strong and visual lyrics. I hope to hear them.
This is great - I can actually hear the chorus musically in my head. Some really cool rhymes. Good skirmishing, and thanks for the prompt!
Fabulous insightful message delivered in a succinct chorus! The verses do a great job adding texture and context. Fabulous lyric and hook!
Really good take on your prompt! Love the rhyming scheme, it flows well. Strong story, that to me is about the courage to be yourself. Nice writing!
The unknown road could be a road or it could be all of life! You can feel the uncertainty! Nice one.
Nice images, and great story. A road less travelled may be difficult.
I love the imagery here, you've told a very clear and relatable story to pulls up a lot of emotion as well. Really nice work, skirmish or not.
