The World Is Open

[Verse] I’ve learned to savor the sound of my shoes, Clicking in rhythm through evening hues. A book by the fire, a dance in my room, No one to answer, no one to assume. I’m the queen of my castle, the clock is my own, And darling, I’ve mastered the art of alone. [Chorus] But the world is open, the door’s ajar, A soft-lit café, a wish on a star. I’m ready to meet him, but I’m not in need, Love’s not a hunger, it’s more like a seed. The world is open, I’ll wait and see, If the world’s got a partner for me. [Verse 2] I’ve danced with the moon, I’ve dined with the rain, Found peace in the pleasure of my own refrain. No tear-streaked pillows, no desperate pleas, Just a heart that hums in gentle ease. But still, there’s a waltz I’ve yet to rehearse, A duet of kindness, a love unreversed. [Bridge] I’m not searching, not chasing, not lost in despair, Just strolling through life with a tune in the air. If fate’s feeling frisky, it might hum along, And turn my solo into a song. [Chorus] Oh, the world is open, the wind is sweet, A smile on a stranger, a chance we might meet. I’m steady, I’m patient, I’ve nothing to prove, But I’ll step in time if it’s time to move. The world is open, the sky’s so wide, And who knows who’s walking alongside? [Outro] So here I’ll be, with my shoes and my tune, Sipping my coffee, admiring the moon. Alone but not lonely, content as a stone, The world is open, and I’m never alone.
