lyrics

Cool spring night as I walk down to the dock
My place to go under the stars to collect my thoughts
Fish splashing water, whitecaps hit the shore
I open my mind and those thoughts start to pour
Question about right or wrong, what’s it all about?
The life we live, what’s the point? Out loud I shout
Had it figured out before, where’d it all go?
Answers at my fingertips, now shouts turn to moan

Look a little harder and you’ll see what you need
Listen a little better and you’ll hear what truth brings

Then a star drops, double take in disbelief
Falls fast from the sky, stops right in front of me
Star takes shape, a man, white hair and beard
Guardian angel or god? The question I didn’t fear
Blue eyes of wisdom, infinite age, his lips then move
Until I opened up the word I couldn’t hear
Answers to my questions, He hit the pipe he smokes
Wise wizard toke and this is what he spoke

It all makes sense now, you’ve given me my clarity
Thank you wise wizard, I mean it with sincerity
You can’t tell anyone, this is only right for you
Everyone else has the paths they have to choose
Eyes now open please tell me who you are
I am your higher self, those answers were not far
Chills up my spine as he vanished from my sight
