Oh my soul
Why do you wander like you do
Oh my soul
You’ve got nothing left to prove
Oh my soul
Let me get out of your way
Oh my soul
Wake up and seize the day

I’ve been listening to my heart’s poetry
Try to cast aside what I don’t need
But you can’t outrun those voices from the past
But you can put them in the place that they should be

***

I’ve been tracing your long journey
The sad contours of your face
I’ve been thinking about that hunger in your eyes
Your hidden story, the measure of your grace

***

And all the choruses and all the verses
Can never render where things lie
But in this mystery, I’m returning to where I need to be
Running to this wild and empty sky

***
