Drifting Soul
I feel guided by those who have gone before.
My Drifting Soul
When the night like a velvet curtain
hangs heavy over my head .
When life in its predictable way
drops boulders on the road ahead.
When I have triumphed in the face of failure
but the journeys taken its toll.
I’ll stand shoulder to shoulder
with you my drifting soul.
You’re the past, you’re the present
you’re the here and the now,
You’re the face in the mirror
the words from my mouth,
For better for worse
God only knows,
Everyone has a drifting soul,
When all my expectations
become swallowed by a cloud
When my curiosity leaves me
standing on dangerous ground.
When loves asking me questions
and the answers I don’t know
I’ll be reaching for you
for you my drifting soul.
