You Thought You Knew Me

 

You think you know me now

But let us walk down this road

Life stories we’ll share

Reveal all we really know

 

The school of life

Teaches you

To be your own teacher

To search your own truth

 

You’re the teacher and the student

All rolled into one

Answers of the Moon

To questions of the Sun

 

Where you come from

And where you’re going to

All depends on the journey

And the choices of you

 

The person you set out to be

May not be who you are

 The pull of chance and fate

Determines if you shine like a star

 

Some dreams change in mid-life

What you thought you wanted

Lost its appeal leaving you

Dreamless and haunted

 

But new inspiration

Finds you again

Clouds disperse

You’re reborn from the rain

 

A new outlook upon life

Leaves a smile in your heart

To make the most of each day

From a fresh loving start

 

You thought you knew me

Until now you’ve met yourself

Now we know each other

With renewed inner wealth
