and like the yellow lanterns
laced in patters for protection
placed beyond a destination
that never can be seen
i ran for answers everlasting
though i had no real direction
until today when i stopped running
to open up my eyes and see

still patience is a virtue
on the path to mere perfection
and i'm standing on the edge
as if never before i see

the day dreams have no ending
they're just endlessly collecting
ageless shadows they lie resting
on a path that you must learn to see
