supposed to be / 9:35 am

Unexpectedly, I just finished a song I've been working on since last quarter (or before last quarter?)... it's hard to remember. I won't explain the meaning because I think it's easy to understand anyway and I don't want to over-explain. Although it's very personal, I want the reader or listener to take away their own meaning from it. I think it includes feelings and thoughts that most people share in some capacity or another. At first, I was scared the words were all over the place but I think it all tied together pretty nicely.

"Supposed to Be" 

If I could only fit inside my dreams at night

and stay there for a day or two until i find 

the road back home, I'd gladly go...

oh, you know, I'd gladly go

If I could step outside my skin and walk between

birth and death and right and wrong, the sky and sea,

would I come back with answers or 

would I come back just wanting more? 

But all I need is right here in front of me

and I'm going to stand on my own two feet

and do my own walking down my own old street,

and when I hear the bird sounds above

your voice telling stories, our hearts beating love,

I'll know that I'm where I'm supposed to be.

Well, I know you have troubles and that I have mine

I have never dealt well with the passing time,

but if it were passed with you

I think I could make it through

When all is said and all is done I'll be happy

with maps and photographs laid out so I can see

that life's a quilt that's slowly sewn,

with well-worn patches stitched to show

that all I need is right here in front of me

and I have stood on my own two feet

and done my own walking down many old streets,

and I still hear the bird sounds above

your voice telling stories, our hearts beating love,

and I'll know I'm where 

well, I've always been there,

but I'm where I'm supposed to be.

Funny how I haven't been able to finish it for months and the last half just popped into my head this morning! I'm glad because I've been waiting for a long time.
