DRIFT AGAIN

***

DRIFT AGAIN

TRAVELING DOWN THIS DUSTY HIGHWAY

HAD IT'S SHARE OF UPS AND DOWNS

SO MANY CITIES, SO MANY TOWNS

SO MANY BLURRED FACES

IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR

FADING INTO NOTHING, INTO THE OBSCURE

STILL WAITING MY TURN

IF I COULD ONLY LEARN

HOW TO CHANGE

MAYBE THAT'S HOW I FAIL MYSELF

I'M STILL DOWNLOADING ALL THE PAIN

LIKE A LOST BALLOON IN THE WIND

TO LET GO IS TO DRIFT AGAIN

MY SPIRIT GUIDES ABANDONED ME

LEFT ME TO TRAVEL ALONE

A FEW TIMES I THOUGHT I'D FOUND MYSELF

AND MY HOME, BUT I WAS WRONG

I KEPT MY HEAD DOWN, AS I MADE MY WAY

KEENLY AWARE OF ALL THAT WAS MISSING

UNAWARE OF WHAT WAS NOT

SOMETIMES FORGOT MY EYES COULD SEE

DYING TO BELIEVE IN SOMEONE ELSE'S VISION, THAT WAS ME

AND FROM THE ASHES, I WILL RISE

LIKE A PHOENIX READY FOR FLIGHT, I SURMISE

I'VE BEEN HERE BEFORE, JUST MY SOUL

A LONGTIME AGO 

CARRY ME FORWARD BUT NOT TOO FAR

DELIVER ME FROM THESE ANTIQUATED THOUGHTS

THAT I'M TIED TO

DRIFT AGAIN, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN

THE NIGHTMARES OVER, THE DREAM HAS BEGUN

IT LOOKS LIKE YOU WON

TO LET GO IS TO DRIFT AGAIN
