Around the Bend

Just around the bend nobody knows
Still that’s where everybody wants to go
Might be a mile right up ahead
All I really know is that I’m not there yet
When I was a child I thought as a child
And I had no fear of all things wild
Crawl turned to a walk, walk turned to a run
Run turned to a leap, hair in the wind
Taking that one step forward around the bend
Here I go
I don’t know what waits but I am not afraid
I’ll just make my own sweet way around the bend
See I’ve been alone and I’ve been loved
I’ve turned the other cheek, I’ve taken off the gloves
I still got the fight, still the thirst
I just keep on searching for better or worse
Here I go
I don’t know what waits but I am not afraid
I’ll just make my own sweet way around the bend
One day I’ll wake on a distant shore
My soul someplace it’s never been before
I don’t know what waits but I am not afraid
I’ll just make my own sweet way around the bend
Here I go
