2017

GOLDEN MEADOWS LIE BASKING IN THE MORNING SUN

A BABBLING BROOK WINDING THROUGH THE OVERHANGING TREES 

LENDS IT'S VOICE TO THE MORN

ALL CALM AND SERENE, DAY LIKE A DREAM

NOTHING HELD BACK

GOLDEN SUN-RAYS DANCING IN THE TREES 

CASTING SHADOWS, MOVING THE LEAVES

SOMETHING OF A SYMPHONY, A REVELATION

DARK LIGHT, DAY NIGHT

NO UNCERTAINTY A CONSTANT FLOW

THE SUN THE MOON THE TIDE

DRAWING YOU INTO THIS WORLD YOU'VE NEVER KNOWN

WHILE THE SEEDS OF CHANGE TAKE HOLD

FORTUNES FROM GOLD, SUNSETS AND RINGS

THE SAND AND THE SEA, PART OF A SUM

KEEP GOING FORWARD, NO SHADOWS OF DOUBT

SOONER OR LATER, YOU'LL FIND THE WAY OUT

SOMEWHERE IN TOMORROWS LIGHT

SHINING DOWN AT YOUR FEET

PART OF EVERYTHING, YOU HAVE, AND HAVEN'T SEEN
CALL MY NAME, CAST IT ON THE BREEZE
SEND IT WITH A PRAYER, I'M ON MY KNEES

I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
ON THE ROAD TO ENLIGHTENMENT 
FULL OF MYSTERIES AND FRAUGHT WITH PERIL
DON'T LOOK BACK, THAT'S NOT THE WAY YOU'RE GOING 
WITH THE WIND AT YOUR BACK, AND THE ROAD AT YOUR FEET
IT'S BEST IF YOU KEEP MOVING
IN CASE YOU LOSE THE MOMENTUM, THAT DRIVES YOU ON
GET TOO COMFORTABLE, WANT TO STAY BEHIND 
I THINK I'M BEGINNING TO FIND 
ALL THE LITTLE THINGS I MISSED ALONG THE WAY

ONE ANSWER FOR A THOUSAND QUESTIONS
TRUST YOUR HEART TO LEAD THE WAY
LET YOUR HEAD THINK IT'S ALL OKAY
AND THE WORDS WILL COME IN TIME
YOU'LL KNOW THEY WERE MEANT FOR YOU
LOOKING FOR A HIGHER PURPOSE, GREATER THAN THYSELF
WHO DO YOU THINKS HOLDING YOU
SHE BREATHES LIFE, SHE WEAVES MAGIC INTO DAYS
SHE'S THE LIGHT, SHE'S GOT THE ANSWERS 
PART OF A SUM, EVERYONE
