Better Purpose

from Four Loose Leaves EP by TA Walker

/

about

A new song I wrote in June 2016. I’m not sure this one will fit within my next writing/recording project “style”, but I rather like it anyway, and didn’t want the song to get “lost down the back of the sofa”...

lyrics

Is our tale an empty page
We draw upon at will?
Best to steer a moving car
Or spend some moments still?
Reach for birds in thickets, yet
Retain the one in hand
Get to know the maps that show
Your latest promised land

Someday we may find somewhere
The better purpose lying there
Just around the bend

Panting from the sprint from which
Our marathon transformed
An unaccustomed pace to run
My heart left strangely warmed
Find out where, much further than
Our navigation planned
This crazy rush has swept us
Our latest promised land

Someday we may find somewhere...

To fail to prepare - is to prepare to fail
Sometimes preparation - can take you unaware
