Wondering Why

This is an oldie that I came across in my scribble files.  It was written about the same time as "Song Of The Sea" and kind of shares a common theme.  


Wondering Why

I’ve been wondering why
the world turns the way
that I’m walking into the sun

And I’m listening as
the sea sings its song
I feel like my new life’s begun

I’m not arguing that
the goings been good
but it’s wearing me to the ground

We’ve been weathering storms
with sticks and with stones
without ever making a sound

I’ve been harboring ghosts
who’ve haunted my dreams
and it’s high time to set them free

No more lingering doubts
or long lonely nights
It’s clear as the sun on the sea

I’ve been wondering why
the world turns the way
that I’m walking into the sun

And I’m listening as
the sea sings its song
I feel like my new life’s begun
