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
