Not in this lifetime
Not in the next
Not in this music
Not in the text
Not in the future
Not in the past
Not for the first time
Not for the last

There's something that surrounds
Without colors, without sounds
Flesh and blood and spirit
But then why can't I go near it
Something in the air
Crying "look I'm over there"
Chasing after ghosts
That fade when I come close

Stay the course

Not on a mountain
Not on a wave
Not in a desert
Not in a cave
Not in the daytime
Not in the night
Not disappearing
Yet not in sight

There's something that must drive
My desire to be alive
When all hope is gone
It gives me strength to carry on
I feel a touch, I look behind
There's something that controls my mind
In the sky or underground
I won't give up until it's found

Stay the course
Search for the source

God above or god below
A guiding hand that won't let go
Scared I'll someday turn and see
It's hiding deep inside of me

Stay the course
Search for the source
