COMPASS

WRITTEN BY: J.R HILTON

2017

I WONDERED SO MANY TIMES 

WHY I DID THE THINGS I'VE DONE

THEN I MOVED ON

LEFT ALL THAT BEHIND ME

TRADED IT FOR THE THINGS I DID NEXT

NOTHING SPECIAL, MUCH THE SAME

JUST ANOTHER TEN YEARS, IN THE GAME

BLINDED BY DESIRE, FEEDING THE FIRE

UNTIL IT'S OUT OF CONTROL

PUT IT OUT THEN IT'S TIME TO GO

 COMPASS COMPASS POINT THE WAY

WHICH DIRECTION, IS IT GONNA BE TODAY

I HOPE IT'S LOVELY ON THE WAY

ONE BAD DECISION LEADS TO MORE

WHY NOT MAKE IT THREE OR FOUR

WHILE I'M STILL BULLETPROOF

YOU MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE

YOU TRY TO PUT ALL THAT HURT

IN THE PAST

BUT IT ALL TAKES TIME

TO CROSS THE DIVIDING LINE

WHAT KIND OF NEW BEGINNING IS THIS AT THE END

IF I HAS A CRYSTAL BALL, I'D BE SUCH A KNOW IT ALL 

COMPASS COMPASS, POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION

OF THE SUN

TO PEACEFUL DAYS

FILLED WITH LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING

THAT FEEDS MY DREAMS

TOUCHES MY DESIRES

LORD KNOWS I'VE HAD ENOUGH, SADNESS AND TEARS

REGRETFUL DECISIONS THAT BROUGHT ME TO MY KNEES

THANKS TO THE GRACES THAT SET ME FREE

LEAVE ME IN WONDER

WALLOW IN SPLENDOR

WASH OVER ME, THE TIDES OF FORTUNE

KEEP THE WAY CLEAR

GET RID OF THE DISTORTION

SUNDOWNS, THAT MELT IN THE SKY

REVEALING ENDLESS STARS, TO MY EYES

NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE PRIZE

TAKEN FOR GRANTED, FOR WAY TOO LONG

FLIGHTS OF FANCY OVER NOW

I'M STANDING STRONG

COMPASS COMPASS, POINT THE WAY

AVOID THE PERILS AND THE PITFALLS

EACH BRIDGE I CROSS BRINGS ME CLOSER

TO THE OTHER SIDE, FROM THE SIDE I'M ON

WHICH DIRECTION, I'M ALREADY GONE

LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM

IT WAS ONE I'D NEVER SEEN

LOVELY FRAMED IN BLUE AND GREEN
