Compass Rose

It comes and
goes freely anywhere
Wherever it likes to go
Yesterday it was here
but today is somewhere else
Like a driftwood floating
Like a kite flying
with no string
Draws a thousand different lines
Shapes its awkward outline

It stays however it likes to be
But always dreams
something else to be
So yesterday it surely was
but today is obviously not
Like a driftwood floating
Like a kite flying
with no string
Draws a thousand different lines
Shapes its outline
Are you waiting 'til it's over
'Til the end of what you smolder
You had enough of rolling over
Get up and take a compass rose
Are you still crying over
Losing track of
where you are now
It's time to wake up
and do take a compass rose
Bloom it on your heart
It will lead you
home and let you know
where to go

Like a driftwood floating
Like a kite flying
with no string
Draws a thousand different lines
Shapes its outline
Are you waiting 'til it's over
'Til the end of what you smolder
You had enough of rolling over
Get up and take a compass rose
Are you still crying over
Losing track of
where you are now
It's time to wake up
and do take a compass rose
Bloom it on your heart
It will lead you
home and let you know
where to go
Bloom it on your heart
It will lead you
home and let you know
where you need to go
Keep it on your heart
It will lead you
home and let you know
where you need to go
where you need to go
where you need to go
