Bag of Questions

Time for a little less over-thinking.

Lyrics

If I ask a compass where did I go wrong.
The needle guesses north, it cannot say.
And if I ask a clock face, has it been too long.
It only answers with the time of day.

Before this bag of questions makes me crazy
I’ll roll the windows down and let some fly
Leave some by the roadside, tack a note to that old house
Some what-ifs and a note that starts with “why”
Scatter some like ashes on a sunlit mountainside
Truth is we all wander on this ride.

If I ask for wishes from a faded list
The stars wink and the moon shows no surprise.
And if I ask tomorrow how the plot will twist 
It always takes a day then it replies

Before this bag of questions makes me crazy
I’ll roll the windows down and let some fly
Leave some by the roadside, tack a few to that old house
Some what-ifs and a note that starts with “why”
Scatter some like ashes on a sunlit mountainside
Truth is we all wander on this ride.

Let’s go. Down the unmapped road.
Let’s go. Write what our story holds.
Jump in. We don’t need to know.
Just go.
