Switchback - Single Edit

Will you follow me?
And let me be your guide
I can teach you solemnly
How to walk, stop, step, jump and stride

The turns we take
Concealed in choices
Make a perfect circle
That soothes the noises

Gain your wisdom
Through the surrounding sound
Dare yourself with no fear
To walk up and down

As green as gardens be
Only you can choose to seek
For shadow can be found
Even when the sun is at its peak

Will we ever find what's ours to tame?
Where's the ticket to the halls of fame?
To be the rock and the shoe that kicks it
On a path that's clear but reveals too steep

Too many ways to go
All these roads, we find ourselves nowhere
A struggle deep inside
There must be a way out, this has to end
The weight grows heavy
The soul seeks demise
Until we find the switchback
Our own journey is in disguise

Learn your arm's reach
Trust your feet, take a leap
Feel all that's in sight
You can grab, fetch, pull, take, keep
Look back then again
As a symbol of defiance
No trail will you find
If you give in to compliance

Will we ever find what's ours to tame?
Where's the ticket to the halls of fame?
To be the rock and the shoe that kicks it
On a path that's clear but reveals too steep

Too many ways to go
All these roads, we find ourselves nowhere
A struggle deep inside
There must be a way out, this has to end
The weight grows heavier
The soul seeks demise
Until we find the switchback
Our own journey is in disguise

Omen keeper
'Til you find the secret
There's a new road ahead
Not just writings on a rock

The tide can swallow the sand
Yet it keeps on fighting back
A traveler grows ever weary
Until they become the path
