All of our dreams are laid out and measured
|
Arrows and pins and a rainbow of threads
|
Like hope on a string, sewn into the linings
|
For the courage to face the unknown ahead
|
|
My soul companion
|
Out in the world somewhere
|
My soul companion
|
I'll meet you there
|
|
I'm packing my compass, trusted and tested
|
My dog-eared maps to study and fold
|
Into a pocket, I'm traveling light now
|
All that we have is all that we hold
|
|
My soul companion
|
In my heart you are
|
My soul companion
|
Just like a star
|
|
There are no borders, there are no boundaries
|
There are no fences up around me
|
But I get quiet and I get lonely
|
Just like everyone
|
|
These are the old roads, these are the stations
|
I look for my ride, you wait for your train
|
These are the chances, a life's incantations
|
These are the places that don't know our names
|
|
My soul companion
|
Love finds its own way in
|
My soul companion
|
Now let us begin
|
My soul companion
|
Out in the world somewhere
|
My soul companion
|
I'll meet you there
|
