This one was difficult to pull out.... I'm not sure I like it yet. Maybe it'll please me more when (if?) I add music... What do you think?
Verse 1
When I know
where I’m going I never seem to get there
When I lose
my way I get found
When I set a
direction for my thoughts to travel
They
go anyplace but where they were bound
When I try
to unravel the meaning of things
When I
attempt to map my charts
I get stuck
in traffic on the lower plane
And trip
over the fallen stars
First Chorus
Where do I
go from here?
How do I
fill in the gap?
Which way
should I face to find the end place?
Can somebody
give me a map?
Verse 2
When I try
to describe what I want out of life
When I
attempt to make a plan
When the
maps that I draw go round in circles
Is
when I least understand who I am
Then at that
moment, when all seems so lost
And it’s
certain I don't know the way
I’m
temporarily blinded by a flash of insight
Then see I
am where I should stay
Second Chorus
Where do I
go from here?
Where
lightning strikes and thunder claps?
Where I can
find some peace of mind
Where
there’s no more need for maps
Break
Some have
claimed to already have such a thing
The bible,
the 8-fold path, the Quran
A map to the
music, a map of the ‘verse
A
map I can understand
Does a map
even exist?
Is there a
plan I can find?
Am I really
going someplace?
Or
just wasting my time?
Verse 3
When I know where I’m going I find
that I am
At odds with my inner clown
Who does not want to know the
places we go
Who does not even need to be
found
While I restlessly think of ways
to go forward
And attempt to direct every step
She skips and she laughs, she
follows no path
She’s the bravest I’ve ever met
Third Chorus
Where do I go from here?
Or should I stay and adapt?
How can I find the meaning of
life
Do
I need to create my own map?
Can somebody
draw me
Or get me or
buy me or sing me
Or sign me a
map
Please
somebody
Kiss me and hug
me, laugh me and bug me,
Love me and
and cry me, hello and goodbye me,
Keep asking
oh why me….
and please
help me find me…
the map.
