Witness

I walked out this morning to meet you again
After so many years since we lived in that den.
You got married, and you’ve flown around the world.
You got your girl.

You seem happy, and I’m happy for you, and
You sit on the other side telling me that I’m blue.
Well, we each have our own way we’re goin’,
And our own way to show it.

“Settle down,” you used to say,
“But don’t settle,” and
My aim has taken me so far away from you.
Do you wonder where I’ve gone away to?
Passing right through.

There’s a world that I’ve found.
I’ve stepped right up to it.
I left my thoughts open to what I could do in it.
Even though sometimes you think that I’m cold,
I am the witness to our shining souls.

We go from one special place to another, and
We’ve had some good times that I’ll always remember.
I’ll savor those moments on the days I forget how to play.

There’s a world that we share.
We stepped right up to it.
We left our thoughts open to what we could do in it, and
Even though sometimes you think that I’m cold,
I am the witness to our shining souls.

In all that we do, I know there is something
That each of us gets from whatever we’re doing.
Now I don’t know where you’re going to,
But I trust that you do.
