It's the long road I've chosen
      Winding in and winding out
      Of the answer around which we all dance
      And I believe
      That my journey will lead me home
      To the heart of my seeking

      It's all distilled from the timeless moment
      Out of which anything can happen
      Smells like herbs and apple cake
      The morning as I walk through the forest
      Smelling the dirt and the dew and fir needles
      The river rushing in the distance

      It might have been the time
      When the threshold of my consciousness
      Practically disappeared and I saw past the illusions
      Which tend to hold us and I could have been anywhere
      But I knew you were forever and beautiful
      And I asked what you wished for me

      You wished for me a love and children
      And implored me to hold fast to my vision
      Because the greatest thing of all, you said
      Can never be mentioned
      And you told me that to find myself I must lose myself
      And here I am...

      You'll never believe where I've been and what I've done
      You won't believe the reasons I've been gone
      You couldn't know that you are always in my prayers
      And daily ask blessings for the world
      And ask it all through you, you'll never believe
      But I'm sure you knew.
