Nowhere

A message came my way today
At first I think I see
Some reconciled words like poetry
But adolescent lines replay
A rambling, troubled voice from far away
I hum the lines from end to end
And all those younger fears
They trickle back to me from all those years
Oh, I was so much smaller then
I hadn't met the man that I am now
Now all this time thats past
Has made me who I am
Yet you still so cling tight
To where it all began
So long
So long
Nowhere
How'd you get nowhere?
I look at all that you've laid bare
The shade of lonely days
And how the winding paths we took compare
I wonder how you lost your way
And why your broken heart did not repair
But all this time thats past
Has made me who I am
But you still you cling so tight
To where it all began
So long
So long
Nowhere
Now I see clouds collide
And the sunshine cuts
Like a butter knife
And I believe
You sent me a finish line
That's a long time comin
'Cause I've walked miles and miles
From old McKinley, past subway tiles
Oh, to these rainbow isles
And I can't help but smile
From all that wicked bile you cling to
'Cause you've gone nowhere
Yes I still live the dream
I've got my team always beside me
And you've got no one
And I live free and wild
I've followed bliss and I'm still out there
But you've gone nowhere
