Oh My Soul

Oh my soul, why do you wander like you do?

Oh my soul, you've got nothing left to prove

Oh my soul, let me get out of your way

Oh my soul, wake up and seize the day

I've been listening to my heart's poetry

Try to cast aside what I don't need

You can't outrun those voices from the past

But you can put them in the place that they should be

Oh my soul, why do you wander like you do?

Oh my soul, you've got nothing left to prove

Oh my soul, let me get out of your way

Oh my soul, wake up and seize the day

And I've been tracing your long journey

The sad contours of your face

And I've been thinking that that hunger in your eyes

Your hidden story and the measure of your grace

Oh my soul, why do you wander like you do?

Oh my soul, you've got nothing left to prove

Oh my soul, let me get out of your way

Oh my soul, wake up and seize the day

And all the choruses, all the verses

Can never render where things lie

But in this mystery I'm returning to where I need to be

Running to this wild and empty sky

Oh my soul, why do you wander like you do?

Oh my soul, you've got nothing left to prove

Oh my soul, let me get out of your way

Oh my soul, wake up and seize the day

Oh my soul, oh

Oh my soul

Oh my soul, let me get out of your way

Oh my soul, wake up and seize this day
