Well I feel I'm going nowhere
And running out of time
Like i'm swimming up a river
Against a turning tide
Oh I'm climbing up this mountain
Thirty miles high
With a suitcase in my hand
And a woman at my side
I've been searching for a beacon
That I still have yet to find
And there's got to be a reason
For the slowing in my stride
I could probably find the culprit
If I really sat and tried
But to be completely honest
I'd rather run and hide, oh no
I know that my heart is running
But i feel there's a breakthrough coming
My boots may be worn but I know
The way I was made to go
Now things are really changing
But not the way I planned
People look at my creations
And they think that's who I am
And we all have expectations
But I wished they'd understand
That the only inspiration
That I get is second hand
But still people try to tell me
What I should and shouldn't say
Like you better keep it simple
Don't challenge us that way
But I'm not in that kind of business
No I left that ship at bay
So I'll keep on writing what I think
We need to hear today, oh no
My heart is a full moon rising
My mind is a red horizon
My sails may be torn but I know
The way I was made to go
Oh one step forward two steps back
Been wondering if I'm still on track
I got faith in what my eyes can't see
But I'm not the man I thought I'd be, no
My heart is an open canyon
More desolate than it has been
My boots may be worn but I know
The way I was made to go
