Journey's Friend

Lying on a hillside, evening lights are in the sky
Something reaches deep within my mind and asks me why?
Thoughts are racing through my head
About a message long thought dead
I turned around and realised I stand alone on high
On my way to understanding journey’s I must make
I’m not guaranteed tomorrow, if it shines or if it rains
Pouring down all over me
Like liquid questions, set me free
All the time in the world is not enough for me to see
Severed from reality I’m waiting for the day
When I face totality, I hear the people say…
The journey’s just begun
Self awareness happens and we’re taken by surprise
Elevated to a place where dark is lifted from our eyes
We take each moment as it comes
And treasure all that has been done
'Cause every piece of puzzle fits, that now you realise
Revelations blow your mind into a million words
Part of creative grand design, the voices never heard
It’s a rushing symphony
Heard throughout eternity
With countless movements, never ending, ever changing chords
Severed from reality we’re waiting for the day
When we face mortality then all the people pray
'Cause all good things must end in time and time will ease the pain
But only if it’s mixed with love and trust and faith again
In the journey’s only friend
PART ll — 'THE END OF THE BEGINNING'
PART lll — 'THE NEED'
So I want to believe you
I want to trust you
But why is it so damn hard?
I want to embrace you
Turn around and face you
But I can’t seem to let down my guard
I want to be free
I want to be free
It’s there for the taking
No point in forsaking
All of the providence
Just give in to reason
Now is the season
And weigh all the evidence
You need to be free
You need to be free
You need to be free
Free from the insanity
Free from the profanity
Free from the constant mind-numbing pain
Free from insecurity
Free from all impurity
From the feeling of bashing your head against a wall again and again
Free from the critical
Free from the political
From all the games people constantly play
Free from limitation
From cheap imitation
From the migraine pressure that binds you up, day after day
PART lV — 'THE MAIN ATTRACTION'
I’m going to join the circus
I’m running far from home
I can’t take all this pressure
I want to walk alone
Hard, from the beginning
It’s the only way that I’ve known
You can’t stop people winning
Or taking what they don’t own
Maybe they’ll accept me
If I can toe the line
Hope they don’t reject me
And treat me like bad wine
Ahead in the distance
I see the ringmaster smile
Arms outstretched toward me
He’s seen me coming for miles and miles
He tells me I’m the main attraction people come to see
They’ve been waiting for years and years, just for me to appear
Part v — 'the path'
We sometimes wander from the path we rarely tread
Become the searcher even though we know what lies ahead
The race is still there to be won
Don’t turn your back on the silent sun
Listen to your heart not all the voices in your head
You start to open up to other possibilities
Even though awareness of them spreads like a disease
Your senses run in overdrive
Awakening feelings come alive
Ready for the first new chapter of your destiny
Now the journey’s finally over, it’s a brand new day
Exploding like a supernova, light creates the way
Hidden deep within your soul your destiny awaits
Trusting and acceptance at the revelation’s gate
Of the journey’s only friend
