[Verse 1]
I don't know, am I supposed to know?
What if every road leads the same way home?
Pathways bend and never reach the end of it
Blending, weaving around to begin again
[Verse 2]
And every night the questions come and ask the moon to rise up
And fly away from old brother sun, and shine a light
Independent light just for one time
Playful calls, cat-scratched armfuls of mystery
Blessing every light dreams
That play over darkened scenes
Like northern lights in the sky, like diamonds in flight
Where they lead is the lonely question of life
[Verse 3]
And even though we strive to make some sense out of being alive
We plot and plan and connive some sense of purpose to derive
When really all we think we know
Might just be one big cosmic swan dive
[Verse 4]
But take heart, you weary traveler
Don't fall apart, your final lover now sings straight into your heart
You're the sky, yours, the inner eye
You, my only love, you question the lessons
Make your mind up to stay up and lay up and wake up with me tonight
My love, I have only three things to say
[Verse 5]
First, when I was apart from you, this world did not exist
Not this world, nor any other
The second is that you are whatever I was looking for
It was you, always you, without you, love, I smother
Third is why, why? Oh why? Oh why
Did I ever learn to count to three?
[Verse 6]
Safe, you are safe in the star, wait and see
Safe, you are safe in the star, wait and see
[Verse 7]
And so he sings and everyone else starts to sing with him
Laughing and dancing and drinking
And you are the fruit of this golden vine
You are holy wine
You are wholly mine
You are holy and you're mine
Written by: Jaco Pastorius, Kurt Elling, Phil Galdston, Rumi
