Something In Me She dusted off her dreams and packed her suitcase She was meant for something more Small town life no longer felt quite right She heard the call of distant shores Her old part-time job was now full-time Dad said in no time she'd own the family store In her pocket was a ticket for a Greyhound And a note she'd leave on her folks' door It said, Let me explain why I'm at loose ends It's nothing you did, nothing you said But in all of my dreams There's something I'm trying to reach I once thought it was something in you But it's something in me While trying to find herself in the city She found a man who she adored He helped her make the tough choices That come along with opening doors But she still felt the hunger That had been with her all of her years She took the road to follow her heart Holding back her tears She said, Let me explain why I'm at loose ends It's nothing you did, nothing you said But in all of my dreams There's something I'm trying to reach I once thought it was something in you But it's something in me She said, I just can't take the backseat To the dreams that I've held dear I see the woman I've always wanted to be Just starting to appear, please Let me explain why I'm at loose ends It's nothing you did, nothing you said But in all of my dreams There's something I'm trying to reach I once thought it was something in you But it's something in me And I must be true to that something in me It's nothing you did, nothing you said Just something in me that keeps reaching ahead It's something in me C.Asher ©1999 Crazy Wisdom Music(SESAC) |
