Follow

It shoots out from me
While a quiet solo guitar
Plays a quiet simple song
It shoots out from me and jumps into the city skyline.
The same city skyline I dreamed of
As a child
Past the same stoplights I dreamed would light my nights
Through the same apartment condos
And row houses I was wishing to live in
While I wasted in my trailer park town
As a boy
Through every sidewalk tree's rustle
To a house somewhere
Where you sit
The man of my dreams
My childhood wish
To your heart
And I realize I am here
In my city
With my dreams
My life
In front of me
My man a short distance
Away
Able and ready to follow my heart
All the way back
To my chest
