Where Are You Going?

Where are you going?
Why can’t I follow?
I had a dream you
Took me away

Past rivers flowing
Far from this sorrow
You found a way through
But I had to stay

Even now
It’s like I’m drowning
Why is guilt so lonely?

Where are you going?
Why won’t you take me?
We could be happy
Somewhere that’s new

Our world is growing
We should be waking
Up with the saplings
Life that we grew

I see you carry
Something so heavy now
But we could withstand the pain
Let me show you how
Just slow down

Where are you going?
What’s in the distance?
Do you search for something
I cannot see

Cold winds are blowing
Bitter and listless
Everyone’s hunting
For something they need

I don’t know what it is
That you’re looking for
But you’ve made each day of this sad life
Worth fighting for
And I want more 

Where are you going?
I’ve heard the rumors
They could be true for
All that I care

I would still follow you
Anywhere

So where are you going?
Why can’t I follow?
