Dark Road Lyrics

Lyric discussion by JanL 

Cover art for Dark Road lyrics by Annie Lennox

After watching the MTV, I felt that Annie was trying to relate this song to the Americans in general, the country in particular. The dark road is descrbing the rather challenging road for the US to get to peace and security, as well as continued growth in wealth, which is the open door/good thing she was mentioning. "You" is the people is general, while "I" is the country itself.
