I Wonder

I wonder as I wander From head to heart to soul If life is like an empty game Or more, an empty goal If passion is the price we pay For pure and perfect peace If people are the problem Or the path to our release For who I am and what I know Is not what others see When life is like a rocket ship And no one cares but me The path to my salvation Is a long and winding road But I am glad to make it With an extra heavy load The promise of a better life Is part of who I am The lesser peace of harmony Is worthy of a clam The urgency of living Is a worthy fact to face The silence of a shooting star Is harder still to trace The universe is full of those Who buried on the shore Gave deference to those who died By living so much more The story of eternity Is written in your heart The actor that you suffer long Is waiting for a part The soul that you should conquer Is the hardest one to win The restless dream within you Is the place you should begin But when you do remember That discretion is your fame The wiser part of virtue Is the value in your name.
