Uncharted Territory

At first I thought I took a wrong turn Down an unfamiliar road Off the path of least resistance As I chose which way to go The signposts were revealing clues To what may lie ahead Just when I thought I might get lost I found myself instead With the wind at my back I travel uncharted territory With love as a compass And faith as my guide Life billows through the sails Into uncharted territory I'll trust the fates, say a prayer And close my eyes There's a woman and a child Both who bear my name One is gone, one is grown Pictures hanging in a frame A snapshot of a moment I can not leave behind In a life filled with complexity A maze of intricate design With the wind at my back I travel uncharted territory With love as a compass And faith as my guide Life billows thru the sails Into uncharted territory I'll trust the fates, say a prayer And close my eyes There are lights on the horizon In a sky of gold and red Everyday's a new sun rising With angels singing overhead Filled with memories of my father As he left this world today They will last me for a lifetime Can never pass away I placed a kiss upon his forehead My thankful tears upon his face Now I walk this world just like him In steps of dignity and grace With the wind at my back I travel uncharted territory With love as a compass And faith as my guide Life billows thru the sails Into uncharted territory I'll trust the fates, say a prayer And close my eyes Uncharted territory Life billows thru the sails Into uncharted territory
