My Way Around

Paddling down a river with a broken hip Running through the forest, blinded by darkness Wondering what it would be like to feel nothing at all Trying to stay connected beyond these walls Trying to let go of the fear That I might never see you again I'm pushing but I can't let go Some days are high, some are low I'm trying to grow Climbing up a hill with a grade so steep Running out of breath when I'm much too deep Bearing a heavy load with legs that won't carry me Walking down a winding road Wishing I had something to show Waiting for that perfect moment to glow I'm pushing but I can't let go Some days are high, some are low I'm trying to grow I can't seem to find my way around this time I might have things to do today Though the odds are stacked against me I will find a way... to grow... Trying to sing a note but my throat's dried up The melody's lost in the silence Trying to find a place where it belongs Hanging off a cliff, but my arms are weak The river below is reaching Maybe jumping in isn't so bad after all I'm pushing but I can't let go Some days are high, some are low I'm pushing but I can't let go Some days are high, some are low
