The Wayfinder

Lyrics

Compass spinning, sky unwinds… I'm the Wayfinder Into the inside…

I set my boots on open ground With a compass that can't settle down I thought I traced the boundary clear But all my steps just disappear

The caves grew deeper as I drew The canyons wider than I knew I mapped the cracks, I named the stones But lost the path back to my own

I'm the Wayfinder, lost and blind Charting caves and canyons wide No rope can hold, no star can guide I'm the Wayfinder Into the inside…

I measured deep a canyon fair With fractured stone beyond repair I staked the walls, I timed the fall But found no way to bridge it all

The caves I marked with careful light Still swallowed years beyond my sight I mapped the faults, I named the scars But every line still moved too far

I'm the Wayfinder, torn and tied Charting caves and canyons wide No rope can hold, no stone can hide I'm the Wayfinder Into the inside

I dropped the compass in the dust Let go the rope, forgot the trust The caves, the canyons, all grew still - I found no map I found my will

I'm the Wayfinder, tested and tried Living caves and canyons wide No rope, no chart, no need to hide I'm the Wayfinder Out of the inside

Compass still Sky unwinds I walk the map I've left behind
