The melody for the chorus of this song is taken from a hymn recorded in a Primitive Baptist church in the Bahamas. My chorus is spiritual, if not religious.

Chorus
There is a way
There is a road
Follow your heart
Find where it goes
Where it leads is a way
Open to you
Follow your heart
Find what is true

Chorus

The sky, a bowl of broken blue
Opens like a song above your head
Days spread out before you
Like the pages of a book that no one’s read
Has no one said?

Chorus

When the mighty storms of life
Have tossed you like a ship that’s lost at sea
Oh, when you’ve lost the anchor
Of the things you thought you knew, then let them be
You will see

Chorus, 2 times

There’s a river running rushing
From the mountains, yearning toward its end
When your waters all run dry
You think you’ll die of thirst, then think again
Think again

Chorus

There is a way
There is a road
Follow your heart
Find where it goes
