Don’t know where I am
Nor where I’m going to be
Can’t see down the road
Or far off cross the sea.
For I am.
I am what I see
Nothing ever changes
Here, within side of me.
Don’t know where I’m going
Never knew where I’ve been
But here now in the present
Is a charming human being.

You are full of majesty
Fulfilling all your destiny
Taking nothing for granted
Softly treading
On this world’s planet
A sweet smile across your face
Nothing of you is not
Full of graceful grace
Majesty is seen
Even in your careful pace.

My heart writes another story
Storing it in the middle of eternity
Not to be beholden to anybody
Just out there living, living the story.

Searching for something new
Searching amongst
The breathe of that
That I once knew.
Grasping, holding close
Memories I loved
See them fall away
Replacing now all that yesterday.
Searching for
New memories untold
Searching for a new life
A new mould.
Searching, searching
But no one knows
Nor will they let it be
As of yet, let it be told.

Tenderness is such a wondrous thing
It brings us close and it brings us things
Best of all it brings us love.
Tenderness is a wondrous thing.

I didn’t know, I don’t know
How it would go
Could I reframe
From
Laughing, smiling or crying
Hold it close
Or
Let it go
Take a step to the left or
Move
Back to the right
Turn
Go anywhere
But does it seem right
Cause
I didn’t know, I don’t know.

When I think about it
I can’t stay
In the realm of
Yesterday.
Move away, move away
From the thoughts, the times
Lived yesterday
Yesterday.

Never knew you
Nor did you know me
Together, we’ve travelled
Far into destiny.
Arriving home
No more worst for wear
Still holding
To thoughts of each other
Not true
But do we even care.

I am the one
That’s best to live
This life I’ve lived
Since life did start
To tick
Within my chest
My heart.

Never, nothing to regret
Got only that which
I need to get
A heart cold, burdened down
Opens up and warms
With kindness shown around.
Never, nothing to regret
The world will come
Bringing all I can reach
And need to get
Sharing too
With those less fortunate.
A smile does it all
Believe
With never, nothing to regret
You’ll receive all you want
And need to get.
