Something on Your Mind

You wake up in the morning
with something on your mind
By breakfast time you’re certain
there is something you must find

So you put your shoes and socks on
and step out to the street
And walk to where the sky
and the horizon seem to meet

By nightfall when you turn around
your home is out of sight
And you realize you’ve come too far
to make it back tonight

You rest beneath a banyan tree
where wise men used to sleep
And dream of limpid water
twice as clear as it is deep

By dawn you’re on the road again
a fair wind at your back
Guided by the morning star
and the endless zodiac

One day you’ll find your golden fleece:
the lyrics to a song
And see that it’s the song
that you’ve been singing all along
