enlightenment

we all need a litttle
but sometimes when it's dark
there seems to be none
to call from
to call for
you have to be brave to admit
you are needy
brave to admit
you can't make it alone
enlightenment comes
when you feel you're on your own

there's a hand on your shoulder
pushing you towards the door
even though you're afraid
of what you'll find out there
you know you have to go
enlightenment comes
when you let yourself find it

no easy recipe or guide down this road
each one tells a different story
comes from a different home
where seasons change
from warm to cold
from growth
to fruit
to fertile seeds
enlightenment comes
as the world unfolds

and even though the sights have changed
buildings gone
and trees cut down
and things have moved
to other towns
what the eyes see
the heart maintains
what your eyes see
in me remains
enlightenment
is just a thought away
