The Wonder of Wandering

I walk in your mountains.
I flow through your streams.
The wonder of wandering
with you in your dreams.

I'll open your eyes 
while your still fast asleep.
Awaken from your slumber.
You've promises to keep.

Look to the heavens
and count all the stars.
Count all the pennies
that you keep in your jars.

Settle,for nothing.
Believe,what is true.
I'll point you in the right direction
but that's all I can do.

As you walk by the ocean
and watch the sunset.
Don't lose sight of your convictions
and you'll never regret.

That you live as you choose 
and you choose love over hate.
Don't get stuck in the drama
it's time to fish or cut bait.

I know you can hear me
because I'm what's good in you.
I am your conscience.
I think you already knew.
