Road Map

Highway lines spread out before my eyes
Black and white for miles and miles and miles
I'm following the signs but still I roam
Wandering is the slowest way home

Show me a road map
'Cause I don't know where I'm going
Show me direction
For the river I am rowing

I've reached the end of yet another road
I'm carrying the weight of one more load
Well hope is still a fire, I feel it burn
Faith is still a wire on which I turn

Show me a road map
'Cause I don't know where I'm going
Show me direction
For the river I am rowing
I went to the ocean
And the tide was going out
I stood on the shore there
I was waiting through my doubt
For the sea to come to me

All of my life I have been searching for you
I'm just a poor man in need of good news
Even in the black the cracks can let light through
Let light through
To show me a road map
I will follow where you lead
In your direction
For now I'm where I'm meant to be
I went to the ocean
This time my tide was coming in
It swallowed my footprints
The darkness I was living in
And the sea it came to me
At the edge of a road map
You showed me a road map
Showed me a way
