Blindfold

Walking in a forest with a blindfold on
That's the life I've lived
Always one step after the other
Feeling my way

Trial and error, bliss and terror
Ain't that how it goes
And it never gets easier
So you'd better get brave

If mine was a path
It'd be a scribble all over the map
And that's okay

I've never been sure and I've never been early
But I've sure tried to be
And I learned that hurrying and constantly worrying
Just make it hard to breathe

Let's stop with all the questions that keep us up late
Like what's next after this?
You know nobody knows all the answers
So let's go to sleep

And the day I began
To just let myself be where I am
I never felt so free

Cause planning my life is like planning the weather
It's not in my power to do
So I'll just keep living and take what I'm given
And just try to give something too

I wonder sometimes if there's someone up there
Connecting all the dots
Drawing the lines in the newspaper mazes
Giving our storylines plots

Cause I've grown from heartaches I thought would break me
And I've gotten strong from pain
And if there are no reasons, at least there are seasons
When the leaves will start to change

And if all along
All I got out of life was a song
What a beautiful thing
