[Intro: 7/8, shimmering arpeggios, syncopated bass] (Count the lights, count the miles) (Still no sign of home) [Verse 1: Intimate, restrained] There's a wall of things I've finished And a list of things to do People say I found my calling And for once I know it's true I can tell you why I'm running I can name the lives I've touched But when the room goes dark around me Why is enough never enough? [Pre-Chorus: Rising harmonies, tom build] Every door I dreamed of opened Every horizon moved away (Always further, always further) [Chorus: Soaring 4/4, stacked harmonies] I know what I'm for! But I don't know where I'm going I've built a thousand lanterns Still can't see what they're showing I've got purpose in my hands And this static in my chest How can I be right where I should be And still feel like a guest? (Still feel like a guest!) [Instrumental Break: 7/8 bass solo, guitar counterpoint, polyrhythmic drums] [Verse 2: Rhythmic, building intensity] A handshake in a crowded hallway A name printed on a page A thousand small impossibles Became an ordinary day I believed the climb was meaning That the summit held the key Now the view goes on forever And I wonder where is me? [Bridge: 5/4, whispered call and response] (What do you want?) Not another shining thing (What do you need?) A little room to hear me sing [Half-time, swelling strings] Maybe being lost is not a failure Maybe faith can walk without a sign Maybe all these roads are worth the taking Even when they don't feel mine! [Instrumental Crescendo: Ascending guitar, syncopated bass, crashing cymbals] [Final Chorus: Key change, explosive harmonies] I KNOW WHAT I'M FOR! But I don't know where I'm going! I've built a thousand lanterns And their light just keeps on growing! I've got purpose in my hands But no peace inside my chest Maybe I can know just who I am Without knowing what comes next! [Outro: Return to 7/8, fading vocal layers] (I know what I'm for) (But where am I going?) I know what I'm for... (Still searching, still growing) [End: Single unresolved piano chord]
