Rob Thomas - The Great Unknown Lyrics

People are talking, what you can't un-know
And what you wanted wasn't real at all
So many people never cross that road
Staring out the window of a combat zone

So just hold on
Driving through the valley of the great unknown
Hoping that the headlights shine on
Everyone around you has a heart of stone
But you just roll on
Just roll on

People are talking but you can't be sure
So many whispers at your own front door
And when you open up you lose that hope
Now you start to wonder if you're all alone

So just hold on
Driving through the valley of the great unknown
Hoping that the headlights shine on
Everyone around you has a heart of stone
But you just roll on

Remember walking when you thought you couldn't stand
Remember what it feels like
I know you think that they could never understand
Oh, but you don't want to be right
And now you only want to make it out alive

So just hold on
Driving through the valley of the great unknown
Hoping that the headlights shine on
Everyone around you has a heart of stone
But you just roll on
Just roll on

Just roll on
Just roll on

Rob Thomas you are officially my hero.

Awesome song

Rob I would really like to remix and rework this song! This is one of his strongest since his earlier days! Love the groundfloor concept but it could have been taken to a far greater place and height!

remember walking when you couldn't stand, remember what it feels like

My all time favourite Rob Thomas song. Damn near started to cry when I saw him perform it live in 2015. i never thought he could do better than ever the same or her diamonds <3

My apologies in advance if this comes across sounding corny but this is one of those amazing songs that feels like it speaks to me on a very deep, personal level. My mom and myself were huge fans of Rob's music and unfortunately, I lost her the day before mother's day of 2016 after a 26 year long battle with progressive MS. There were times her legs completely gave out and I had to literally carry her or push her for miles in her wheelchair....DAMN that line."Remember walking when you thought you couldn't stand" holds an especially deep and important meaning to me. This track is too meaningful and important to get virtually no airplay but maybe it's better that way..The people looking for it will find it

I always feel like he speaks to us (me) on so many levels.

Never apologize for expressing your beautiful heart. I love this song, and it lead me to see your comment❤roll on.🕊

I know exactly how that is I suffer from M.S and my legs give out on me a lot...Robs music has touched me for years gives me strength when I feel weak.....

Wow thanks for your comment thanks for doing so much for your mom. I'm sorry for your trials and for her loss.
Love this song so much.

one of my favorites

His voice is amazing! I suffer from depression and anxiety and his voice, the way he sings a song, The great unknown, pieces and others are so soothing and amazing. I'm at ease when I play his songs over and over again. Thank you Rob Thomas for being amazing talent and the wonderful guy you are. You save me!

What a moving song! He knows how to touch the mind mentally in such a way that is mesmerizing. I've been repeating his songs over and over. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
