Nobody noticed when my identity got lost
After all it’s not their problem, for they don’t bear the cost
Plus if you look over you’ll see me sitting in that chair
But if you look a little closer you’ll see I’m not even there
I chased the dreams of others and chased a penny for myself
Carried out my marching orders like a good and proper elf
I should have noticed sooner; I wish I’d spoken up
but all these should’s and wishes will never fill my cup
I clear away the pebbles and unearth my buried center
My destiny is calling out “let all ye who hear me enter”
When I begin to honor my deepest passions will I find
a deeper joy of being, leaving suffering behind?
If I risk it all, on this hail mary of a dream
Oh Universe can you guarantee me that I won’t lose my steam
Can you reassure me that I’m going to be just fine
Be honest, because I’ll know if you’re just feeding me a line
Quietly I listen for some kind of mystical reply
something unmistakeable on which I can rely
but there are no guarantees in life, just moments and choices
Those who find their happiness heed their inner voices
