The Story Wandered Off

(Verse 1) I sat down with a little plan, A notebook and a cup beside. Just one small scene before the day Could scatter all my thoughts too wide. A stranger smiled from half a page, And somehow stayed a little more. I only meant to write hello... They opened up another door. (Pre-Chorus) It's funny how a single question, Asked with quiet, gentle care, Can lead you somewhere unexpected... And you're happy that it's there. (Chorus) The story wandered off today, Along a road I hadn't seen. I could've called it back again... But I liked where it had been. One little turn became a trail, One answer welcomed something new. Sometimes the nicest place to find A story... is where it finds you. (Verse 2) The baker needed someone new, To carry bread across the square. Before I knew it, every loaf Had found a reason to be there. A festival appeared in spring, Because one child asked, "Why not then?" It's funny how the smallest things Can grow into a world again. (Pre-Chorus) Every little "What if maybe..." Leaves another path to roam. Piece by piece, without me noticing... The world begins to feel like home. (Chorus) The story wandered off today, Along a road I hadn't seen. I could've called it back again... But I liked where it had been. One little turn became a trail, One answer welcomed something new. Sometimes the nicest place to find A story... is where it finds you. (Bridge) Not every map is drawn completely. Not every ending knows its name. Sometimes tomorrow brings a question That yesterday forgot to frame. So I'll leave a little room to wander, A little space for "Maybe so." Because the worlds I love the most... Still have somewhere left to go. (Final Chorus) The story wandered off today, Not lost at all, just looking round. I followed with a hopeful smile, To see what else could now be found. I started with a simple page, A thought no bigger than a spark. Now every little road I've walked Has left a lantern in the dark. And if tomorrow asks again, "Would you like to come explore?" I'll smile... And open one more door.
