Turning Point

 

 

I have mentioned this singer/songwriter before ... a singer from North Carolina named David Wilcox.  He is a talented musician and a wonderful poet.  His words spoke to parts of my journey and maybe to parts of yours?

TURNING POINT

Just one turn to steer your fate
Or
Wait for fate to spin you,
Your trusting's fine
But much too blind,
Your compass is within you.



These days pass you yearning,
Like empty pages turning,
You're holding out for something real,
You can't play pretender,
Because
You still remember
Just how full
Your heart can feel.



But how long the distance,
Getting by and getting through,
Your heart's strong insistence,
Says that nothing else will do,
Or
You could try on
Their distractions,
Wear some empty compromise,
But
It's hard to breathe,
Inside some cheap disguise,
You can live your life completely,



That true path you're here to find,
Or
Stay scared
And
Leave your destiny behind.
It's right now.
Here's the turning point in time.



Just one thing can kill this dream,
To compromise your vision.
We find our truth
Or
Live some lie.
It rides on this decision.



Meanwhile,
Those other voices:
"Hurry up and rush your choices,"
Try to second guess your fate,
Oh yeah ... 
"You can't wait forever"
"Gotta pull yourself together"
"Feel the time is running late"



Well this time,
Right now, 
The turning point is here,
So look deep,
See clear.
Soon your chance will disappear.
Or
You could drift into distraction,
Wear that empty compromise,
But
It's hard to breathe,
Inside that cheap disguise.


 
You can live your life completely
That true path
You're here to find
Or
Stay scared
And
Leave your destiny behind.
It's right now.
Here's the turning point
In time.
Here's the turning point in time.
Here's the turning point
In time.
