[Hook] [Conversational vocal intro, sparse nylon-string guitar] You don't go chasing purpose down... You just let purpose find you. [Pre-Chorus] [Clockwork pulse begins, ambient strings swell] He laid his heavy burdens down beside the rolling stream And traded all his restless plans for one unhurried dream [Chorus] [Full warm acoustic arrangement, steady rhythm] Oh, the road don't owe you answers, and the sky don't tell you why You just breathe the morning air and watch the clouds roll by Johnny found his kingdom in the quiet of the night When he stopped his searching... purpose walked into the light [Post-Chorus] [Half-time percussion, gentle guitar strum] Just let it find you... Yeah, let it find you. [Hook] [Clear driving pulse, intimate vocal] You don't go chasing purpose down... You just let purpose find you. [Bridge] [Tempo shifts down, felt piano and cello harmonic] Johnny walked the quiet roads with empty, open hands No longer chasing destinies or measuring the lands He used to map the miles out and strain to see ahead But found a softer peace in where his gentle footsteps led He stopped beside the river bend to watch the water run And let the sudden warmth filter through the afternoon sun He didn't ask the mountain why it stood so tall and still Nor force a grand design upon the leaning, wooded hill Instead of hunting purpose down or wrestling with the dark He listened to the quiet woods and caught a subtle spark It didn't come with thunderclaps or write its name in gold It settled like a quiet truth the changing seasons hold For purpose wasn't something built or captured in a race It met him in the silence of a simple, present place When Johnny finally stood quite still and let his breathing clear The meaning he had searched for all along was already here [Outro] [Single felt piano note, slow decay] When you stop running from the world... The world comes home to you.
