Starting Line

Lately

My monkey mind is turning over

All the times that knocked me off my swing

The break in the chain link

Lately

I'm trying to find some kind of closure

Spinnin' circles at the roller rink

I could walk or skate or run

But I am back where I came from

And then it came as a surprise

I don’t know why

I was surprised the pebble

l found

In my pocket

Hey girl

You’re good now

Don’t try

To stop it

But now it happens all the time

I’m back at the starting line

The early years

Of my own life

I’m back at the starting line

Lately

Sitting still watching the actors

What is real that I am following?

I have to question everything

Lately

On the trail to understanding

I return to the beginning

I could walk or skate or run

But I am back where I came from

But now it happens all the time

I’m back at the starting line the early years

Of my own life

I’m back at the starting line
