There's a world I was exploring
A world within your mind
And in it I was searching
For a path I could not find.
I could not just keep going for I'd seen a sign that said
There is no place to go here on the path ahead.
I looked around within that world to find some other track
But I could not find a place to go but only forward and back.
So I just kept on going, ignoring what I knew -
That sign that said don't go this way, it's not the path for you.
I looked at all the wonders on each single patch of ground -
Around each corner there was much more to be found,
And on the way I might have missed a million other paths
But I was so distracted by the path toward the heart
That I just kept on going, ignoring what I knew -
That sign that said don't go this way, it's not the path for you.
The path came to an end as I had known it would some time -
A cliff face many metres down I could not hope to climb.
Vast open space in front of me I could not hope to cross
And on the edge I sat and shouted, help me, I am lost.
No longer kept on going, but did what had to be
And finally said, I've lost my way, please come and rescue me.
There must have been a place in that vast world I could have stayed -
I still believe my journey doesn't have to end this way.
But all my earnest crying must have made the rocks vibrate
For next I knew I'd fallen and my body throbbed with ache.
Yes when I cried for help, that's when that world abandoned me -
Such sacrifice to silence surely never had to be.
For weeks I lay in sadness and for weeks I lay in hope -
Both cursed and blessed by passing time I prayed that I might cope.
Then one day so suddenly the wind blew dust around
And underneath that dust I saw a message in the ground
And I could now start going, because of what I knew -
That sign that said, here is the way that is prepared for you.
There's a world I am exploring
A world within your mind
And in the right direction
That took so long to find.
