Just Believing

As I wander in, the path ahead unfolding I'm forced to reassess the playing cards I'm holding Conquer and divide the uncertainties, only to find they're alive, they've multiplied And though my days wandering down the wrong path have ended Its set for the aimless wandering to begin Most days are unsurprising I can see the sun arising Illuminating the things I've learned thusfar Though still leaving me with a tin can for a heart It's like looking in the rear view mirror, objects no more nearer, rather farther And it's only getting harder seeing, believing that my intuition's not deceiving, That the feeling that's haunting me Isn't just because of where I want to be, That what I see is what I see, That I haven't shrouded my head in rose colored glasses, Not clouding myself with whatever flight of fancy Passes me from midnight to midmorning, warning me That morning light dancing across my bed isn't the harbinger of another day of medioctiry, But the bringer of the life I swear I see. That I haven't deluded myself concluding, Reading signs alluding to some moment frozen inside my head subconsciously That I swear has been there all my life, That I'm fated like I thought, not condemned to waiting, Not believing without reason, not deceiving, But seeing the redeeming that I've seen, Just believing what I've seen. Just believing.
