An ember of a thought ignored but still it smolders
The sneaking of its sounds leaves you peeking over shoulders
The candle starts to flicker as the room is getting colder
While the wick is running faster towards the shaking candleholder
With just a shift of perspective to the light undetected
You'll soon be directed on a path unexpected
Where the dreams of the night come alive in the light
And then the fruit of your mind is reunited with sight
Who am I when I gaze up to the sky
The stars are staring back to me but won't look in my eye
Where I'll go depends where all the water flows
But you'll be telling me the way, a path I did not know
What I'll find when I see you down the line
Is how you showed the world to me, adrift on made up time
When I look to you for things I want to do
I see a million waves are crashing, somehow none are touching you
The shadow unshackled can wander unfettered
And ponder the world and the things that make it better
Though all things will blow to the changing of the weather
And shadows will go where they all connect together
And then the wind shifts direction, midst a lapse in attention
And the dim lit projection disappears without mention
From the shadows once cast, their faded apparition
Has become intertwined with the human condition
Who am I when I gaze up to the sky
The stars are staring back to me but won't look in my eye
Where I'll go depends where all the water flows
But you'll be telling me the way, a path I did not know
What I'll find when I see you down the line
Is how you showed the world to me, adrift on made up time
When I look to you for things I want to do
I see a million waves are crashing, somehow none are touching you
Who am I when I gaze up to the sky
The stars are staring back to me but won't look in my eye
Where I'll go depends where all the water flows
But you'll be telling me the way, a path I did not know
What I'll find when I see you down the line
Is how you showed the world to me, adrift on made up time
When I look to you for things I want to do
I see a million waves are crashing, somehow none are touching you
