Baby you look lost, in need of a destination I once found myself in the same situation Compass needle spinning, stars gone gray But if you can keep up, I know the way A quest awaits adventure, though the going may be rough But if you have the will, the rest of you is strong enough Mountain cliff to desert sun to tidal wave to ocean spray The going may be varied, but I know the way We may have to dance, may have to kick and claw We may have to take body blows and show an iron jaw From shuffling uncertainty to former Cassius Clay Stumbling or striding, I know the way If you can find the passion, if you can find the fire To burn your doubt to ashes and plants seeds for your desire Shout your hungry heart out when there's nothing left to say Don't you lose your nerve I know the way I know the way I know the play I know the day It's today Ignore the cliché I know to seize it Catch and release it Or grab a gourmet filet I know the way Wear your toughest boots so you will only feel your duty But otherwise wear ribbons and bells, befitting beauty Dress yourself in glitter and a stunning applique Don't be afraid of glimmering. I know the way There may come a time when you feel that you've been broken But the spark still lingers hidden, coals are subtly smokin' If you're knocked down to your knees, find the sun and start to pray Where we're going it will find you. I know the way Revel in the chaos in the glory of the fight Grab at looming greatness, your long lost human right Stampede all the horses, and set fire to the hay Then chase them to horizon. I know the way You may be feeling worried, like it's more than you can manage But a heart that's running hot can repair the roughest damage Find a fight worth blood and bone and wade into the fray Make your bruises beautiful. I know the way I know the way I know the play I know the day It's today Ignore the cliché I know to seize it Catch and release it Or grab a gourmet filet I know the way Long ago you let your dreams dwindle on the vine But dreams are signals from our hearts, our inner diamond's shine There's dragons needing rescuing, and heroes we can slay Turn the tides on fantasy. I know the way Discover inner promise, and then resolve to keep it You've tilled the field and sewed the seeds and now it's time to reap it Collect colloquial conceits, coopted to convey, sacred secrets slithering, I know the way The promised land awaits, but not as you'd expected it blooms within your heart and soul, sadly undetected Gather wisps of smoke to wrap ethereal bouquet Find your love at last. I know the way Leave regret and leave remorse and leave your loss behind Empty all your baggage, make room for what you'll find Leave your enemies to fight themselves to disarray Lean on loving latitudes, I know the way I know the way I know the play I know the day It's today Ignore the cliché I know to seize it Catch and release it Or grab a gourmet filet I know the way
