Blindfold

Walking in a forest with a blindfold on That’s the life I’ve lived Always one step after the other Feeling my way Trial and error, bliss and terror Ain’t that how it goes And it never gets easier So you’d better get brave If mine was a path It’d be a scribble all over the map And that’s okay I’ve never been sure and I’ve never been early But I’ve sure tried to be And I learned that hurrying and constantly worrying Just make it hard to breathe Let’s stop with all the questions that keep us up late Like what’s next after this? You know nobody knows all the answers So let’s go to sleep And the day I began To just let myself be where I am I never felt so free Cause planning my life is like planning the weather It’s not in my power to do So I'll just keep living and take what I’m given And just try to give something too I wonder sometimes if there’s someone up there Connecting all the dots Drawing the lines in the newspaper mazes Giving our storylines plots Cause I’ve grown from heartaches I thought would break me And I’ve gotten strong from pain And if there are no reasons, at least there are seasons When the leaves will start to change And if all along All I got out of life was a song What a beautiful thing
