Ambling Toward the Unknown 1

Lyrics > Ambling Toward the Unknown 1

WHEREVER PATHS LEAD

I
I’M THE SON OF AARON MY CHILD’S A HIGH PRIEST
I FIND SACRED GROUND BELOW ME, WHEREVER PATHS LEAD
A LIGHT FROM THE HEAVENS ILLUMINATES THE ROAD
I’VE GOT MILES BEHIND ME AND MANY MORE TO GO

THE HANDS OF TIME STOP AT MY BECK AND CALL
THE WIND AND THE RAIN OBEY MY SOLEMN WORD
THROUGH THE MISTS OF THE AGES MY EVERY STEP
FOLLOWS THE PATH OF REVELATION,
…WHY AM I NOT THERE YET?

II
I’M IN BED WITH A GODDESS WE (JUST) SPENT A BLISSFUL NIGHT
LISTENING TO BOBBY’S WISDOM ON THE WOOD AND THE WIRE
THE HOLY TONGUE IT WHISPERS WORDS OF ANGELS
HEAVEN AND EARTH CONVERGE IN THIS FAR AWAY ROOM

I HAVE WRITTEN THESE LINES AND A STORY FOR YOU
IT’S ALL THAT I HAVE IT’S MY SOLEMN WORD
THEY COME DOWN FROM THE AGES IN SHAPE AND SOUND
THROUGH ALL OF CREATION,
I’VE BEEN HANGING AROUND

III
I’VE GOT A FIRE IN MY BELLY, ICE IN MY VEINS
I’M STARTING AT THE END OF A VERY LONG GAME
…NEVER KNEW AT THE BEGINNING THE RULES OR THE RHYME
JUST THE MYSTIC TRUTH IN OUR PARALLEL LIVES

IT’S A MIGHTY FINE SURPRISE, (A) CONVERGENCE OF CHATTER
IMAGINE MY ELATION SINCE MY WORDS SEEM TO MATTER
TO SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME, FOR GOODNESS SAKE
IS IT TIME TO ARRIVE?
OR AM I JUST TOO LATE?
