Back On The Road Again

For five long months the horizon waited Patient as an ancient sea Every road became a question Every silence followed me Maps asleep inside my pocket Engines dreaming under dust Sometimes all it takes is one small key To wake forgotten trust Every ending drew a circle I mistook it for a wall But the universe keeps whispering... "It wasn't the end at all." I'm back on the road again With the sky unfolding wide Every mile dissolves another ghost I carried deep inside The mirrors only hold reflections The windscreen shows what's still to be Every journey I've been searching for... Was always searching for me. Green like spring after the winter Bright against the weathered grey Even ordinary miracles Sometimes arrive this way Every gear becomes a heartbeat Every corner bends through time The world feels somehow slightly different... Like it's finally become mine Maybe freedom isn't distance Maybe it was never speed Maybe every road was simply waiting Until I believed. The butterflies knew before I did. I'm back on the road again Not escaping who I've been Just carrying every broken version Into somewhere unforeseen If tomorrow waits beyond me I'll meet it with an open heart Because every road that disappears... Is where another starts. Turn the key. Breathe... The sleeper has awoken.
