I take a winding road,
that leads me away from here
and it follows along the banks
of a lake so crystal clear.

And the last quarter of a moon
cycles overhead.
and I wonder what will be
coming out in the end.

I’ve taken further away
A star-racked purpose
turns out the stripes I see
Follow them relentlessly
into this moment’s eternity

And I witness the elation
and I’ll bring it to the cause
I’m done with them for right now
I have no more.

And I am growing weary
But stronger yet it seems
and then drugged with life’s emotions
that are dragging down on me

And I’ll take it to another place
having left what I thought behind
And it is the end I know
and it’s here I’ll draw the blind

The heights I’ve seen
and those yet unconquered
they lure me to do more;
and in a downtrodden pathway
I keep coming back for more

And here I am once again,
on the banks of this river
ready to run,
ready to sweep,
ready to share what I’ve been given.
