Horizon

I played the guitar for hours this past weekend, and along the way, I wrote another simple song. I hope you like it.

It’s called, Horizon

I’m a little beam of light

But I can’t find the sun

I keep my legs movin’

But I don’t know where to run

The sky took me in again

The night said ‘Welcome home’

And, I got the nod from Dylan

Now I’m a genuine rolling stone

 
 

My heart was saying something

I couldn’t understand

I’m alone

 
 

I’m a timid little whisper

I’m a shout when I’m hurt

A lonely little prince tamed

By a rose in the dirt

Does Heaven have my number

‘Cause I’m getting calls from Hell

How am I down here?

I was hoping you could tell

 
 

I tried to get lost

So I could be found

Where am I now?

 
 

I’m a sound without a song

A star wiithout a sky

The truth sometimes hurts, but

It’s better than a lie

I’ve learned that the horizon

Isn’t sky and isn’t land

It’s a line that makes you wonder

Exactly where you stand

 
 

I’ve run out of time

The sun set long ago

Which way is home?
