The Right Track Lyrics

What to recommend to someone stuck in a dead end

Who's seemingly unable to locate

The spirit of their youth, the comfort of a truth

As if they lost an element of fate

How to reconnect with an insular intellect

That forgot to listen to the will

Of a slumbering heart

Waiting to take part

In this steep, long distance walk uphill

If I refrain from doing the only thing that ever felt right

If I should hold myself

Hold myself back

If I leave my courage on the shelf

Then I just might

Lose the light

Slowly leading me towards the right track

Now looking sideways, a spirit set ablaze

I make a turn across the wilderness

The inner argument solved by the commitment

To no longer tame this eagerness

If I refrain from doing the only thing that ever felt right

If I should hold myself

Hold myself back

If I leave my courage on the shelf

Then I just might

Lose the light

Slowly leading me towards the right track

Like a house cat who abhors the arrogance of closed doors

I am not willing to tolerate

That I should be denied what's on the other side

Why should I turn around at the gate

If I refrain from doing the only thing that ever felt right

If I should hold myself

Hold myself back

If I leave my courage on the shelf

Then I just might

Lose the light

Slowly leading me towards the right track
