Enter the Woods

All I’ve ever known
Is now somewhere to the back of me
In the front lies only mysteries and uncertainties
But it’s time to go see what unfolds

Hope rests in my hands
I feel most whole when my soul is but a leaf
Riding currents in the breeze
When I know not where I’ll ...

Unfamiliar ground
And all the walls that I have never climbed
Loom the largest in my mind
And I like the way that a puzzle displays
That the pieces before you reveal wonders
When they’re combined

Are these roots just the veins of the earth?
Does the sky ever question its worth?
Are the dreams that we dream truly ours, or from some ancient stream?
Are there messages up in the stars?
Is the end of the world just a start?
And can one know their heart?

When I was a little one
I’d sit and watch the setting sun
And I’d wonder when it was gone
Where was it going to visit next?

All that time my eyes were pointed off
Out into the distance
Often drowning in my questions
Like what will I learn
From those with a foreign tongue?
And what makes a river run?
Oh, I wonder what I’ll become
And what places will I belong?

And will they all be quite this dark?

It’s hard to catch my breath
With this beating in my chest
Oh, what’s hiding in the dark?
Why do I feel so small?
What really lies in front of me?
Can I make it very far?
Will I find the source of the bell?

I guess time will tell
I guess time will tell
I guess time will…
