Follow me, I know the way
You’ll see the forks, but don’t be swayed
Just stick with me and stay behind
I’m being so generous and kind
So we trail the uncertain path ahead
Knowing it doesn’t feel right in our heart or head
But still we trudge along
Like words sung to the wrong song
Don’t look ahead, don’t look behind
Just look at me, don’t follow the paths that wind
Oppression starts to dull your light
Heavied wings which need to take flight
Then ahead a dancing glimmer of light
Curious you investigate this sight
The path ahead is full of twists and turns
But it’s one that fills you with a yearn
A yearn to step into the complete unknown
But you know this journey you must make alone
Like emerging from a chrysalis you start to grow
Don’t be a sheep - find your own inner glow!
