Kick off my dusty shoes
Sit back and put the world in cruise control
Haven't felt this way for so long
Feel in my heart a song to make me whole
Fresh air comes in the window
With it comes a ravens cry
Sunlight shines in the room
And I gaze into the sky
My heart feels so much older
But the cloak of life is tight around my shoulder blades
I feel my old scars start to heal
And I see my mind start to feel the forest glade
Where I hear the voice of friends
And I see the tankards raise
I know I've reached the end
Of my heart broken days
So I'm writing the first verse
Of my song
Trying to find the path
Where I belong
I'm hearing the beat
That I feel inside
And I'm letting the music
Flow out to the skies
Another night in South Central
With the earth screaming like a mental asylum
As the cars screech on by
I cast my eyes to the sky with a shaded sun
My mind wanders back down the path
That I recently traveled
To the mountains and the clean air
That let my heart be to sleep lulled
So I'm writing the first verse
Of my song
Trying to find the path
Where I belong
I'm hearing the beat
That I feel inside
And I'm letting the music
Flow out to the skies
And all that I see is in shades of green
All that I smell is the trees
I think back beside rivers flowing so clean
In a land next to the sea
And I feel the scars begin to heal somehow
The old memories are losing their ground
Nothings as real as this life is now
And I lift up my hearts joyous sound
I'm writing the first verse
Of my song
Trying to find the path
Where I belong
I'm hearing the beat
That I feel inside
And I'm letting the music
Flow out to the skies
