Beyond the roads that we seem to follow
And the routines that hold us by the throat,
Beyond the warming cloak of familiar folk
Lie all the things that we're yet to know.
And though I'm loathe to let them go,
It's the only way I'll ever grow.
No matter how you try to force this
It's just another metamorphosis.
Just when you had it down
Just when you were having fun
Just when you thought you had it sorted
It comes crashing all around.
The goalposts move again
As they tend to now and then,
Just as you thought you'd walk it
You have to build up back up from the ground.
It's the change that'll keep us living
Though it never seems to be that way.
Time takes away but keeps on giving
Forgets your dreams but now you are awake.
