lyrics

A Landscape Found

With this journey now before me

I set out late into the night

terrain is rough, the weather stormy

but for me, these are obstacles,

not barriers to sight

and I will conquer the illusions

I won’t ponder disillusion

I will vanquish dark intrusion

and find a light

And as the ground becomes unstable

the rain, it renders mud and stone

with every memory on the table

I’m now able to look back

at all that I once called my home

and I won’t suffer in the sadness

or degenerate to madness

I’ll be steadfast, seeking gladness,

yet unknown

With the daylight comes accounting

for all the losses I have found

and though my flesh sustained a pounding,

astounding is the spirit that remains

as yet, unbound

and all is possible and new

with a transcendent point of view

ascending to

a greener, higher mound

and the morning with its dew

gives a sunlit point of view

with a hope for something new

with every sound

in this bountiful new landscape

that I’ve found
