On My Way


After a long but fruitful day, I decided to play some Corrinne May to soothe my soul. Yes, her music always feels like a warm blanket on a rainy day. I suspect I posted the lyrics of this song after being moved to tears by it at Corrinne May's concert. But oh well, "On My Way" seems to have taken on richer undertones with the passing of time.

There's still that sense of the unknown and a muted shade of poignancy as I journey on step by step, but I feel very blessed, because I realise that the 'view' now is considerably different. Along the way, I have found some very special fellow travellers who "surround me with love at every milestone." Trusted companions whom I can share the laughter and the tears with. I thank God for each of you. :) Let's walk on.

"On My Way" by Corrinne May
===============================
I'm far away from what I've known
And there's static on the radio

Just a girl in a car on a lonely highway

Driving up and down this winding road
It's getting dark, the stores are closed

The map is wrinkled, my coffee's turned to grey


Chorus:

But I'm on my way, I'm on my way

There seems to be no end in sight

But I know I'll be alright

I'm on my way, I'm on my way

Don't give up on me
I'm on my way

Bridge:

I can picture your smiling face

Your arms stretched to hold me

Waiting there by the gate
If I ever get lost,
I know you'll find me

There's a cross on a hill saying,

"Do not be afraid."
