when your feet shake the dusty ground,
and your head spins 'round and 'round,
when all horizons look all the same,
and signs & men point dif'rent ways,
let this be your guide, lost one:
read these words to find your home.
close your eyes & cease your walk,
breathe the air & feel your lungs,
ask your heart, "where do I go?"
prepare for shock: for it shall know!
Listen to its painful sighs:
"if I instruct, you won't even try!
you never asked me once before!
why not ask them? they'll know more."
Insist, lost one, to hear its speech,
do not quit until it speaks,
and when you gain its founding truth,
hold that dear, don't let it lose,
you only have one heart, one life!
Step forward with it on your side!
Now you know the way, lost soul,
Repeat my song 'til you grow old.
