From the recording Night Bloom
Lyrics
When things went sideways, or even backwards
And I couldn’t get a read on what was up ahead
I threw some punches, I jumped some hurdles
When I came to an end I tied another thread
The thread grew longer, and it grew stronger
‘Til there was no sign of an end
It’s my journey, an unwritten journal in one unbroken thread
When I get knocked sideways, or I fall backwards
I find my footing and I forge ahead
I’m jumping sharks, I’m dodging wrenches
When I come to an end I tie another thread
The thread grows longer, and it grows stronger
There’s still no sign of an end
It’s my journey, an unwritten journal in one unbroken thread
23,000 yesterdays, there for the taking, mine for the making
23,000 yesterdays, some were forsaken, some breathtakin’
When things slow down, or even play out
When there’s more behind me than ahead
I will look back on every square knot and be proud of all I did
The thread grows longer, and it grows stronger
And one day there will be an end
It’s my journey, an unwritten journal in one unbroken thread
It’s my journey, an unwritten journal in one unbroken thread
