Compass

The future that I used to draw Still looked the same somehow Even the light I once believed in Felt so distant now Golden skies and endless dreams The life I thought I’d find I was holding onto yesterday Inside my mind Then I finally realized Nothing had gone wrong The thing that never changed at all Was how I’d seen it all along The dreams I drew never faded They were burning quietly inside The light I was given long ago Was still there by my side Every wish I’ve ever carried Became a sign along the way It’s okay to lose direction Just keep moving anyway I thought everything would change But nothing did Then I realized It was never the world Every step and every longing Every hope I couldn’t name Was quietly becoming A pathway through the rain Maps and compasses aren’t hidden Somewhere far beyond the blue The moment that I understood it I found them in plain view What I’d spent my life searching for Had always been right here I only thought I had nothing ‘Cause I couldn’t see what was here I kept looking toward the horizon Searching everywhere but me Running after distant answers Across an endless sea But the voice I needed most Was the one I’d always known Quietly inside my heart Calling me back home Now I know what I’m looking for You were there all along My compass was always here Inside of me Now I know where I belong Even when the road is unclear My compass was always here Inside of me Inside of me Inside of me My compass was always here Inside of me My compass was always here Inside of me My compass was always here Inside of me My compass was always here Inside of me My compass was always here Inside of me My compass was always here Inside of me My compass was always here Inside of me Inside of me
