Where am I today? I wish that I knew
'Cause looking around there's no sign of you (
"you" metaphor for true self)
I don't remember one jump or one leap
Just quiet steps away from your lead (
had it, then somehow lost it)
I'm holding my heart out but clutching it too (
conditional love of ego)
Feeling this short of a love that we once knew (
remembering divine love)
I'm calling this home when it's not even close
(feeling separated from true home - home metaphor for contentment grace)
Playing the role with nerves left exposed (
questioning who i am -getting hurt by others)
Standing on a darkened stage, stumbling through the lines (
questioning who I am)
Others have excuses, but I have my reasons why (
identifying with thought as self
We get distracted by dreams of our own
But nobody's happy while feeling alone
And knowing how hard it hurts when we fall (
ego leads to conflict and suffering)
We lean another ladder against the wrong wall
(trying to escape ego and thought in the wrong ways)
And climb high to the highest rung, to shake fists at the sky
(false paths)
While others have excuses, I have my reasons why
transcends thought, sees it from above)
[Bridge:]
With so much deception it's hard not to wander away (
understands self, wakes up)
It's hard not to wander away
It's hard not to wander away
(
wander away, no self there anymore, no more identification with thought.)
