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
