whatever tomorrow brings


once in awhile i hear a song that really speaks to me. i had posted this particular song "drive"on my previous blog site, and i can find even more about it to like now. last year, i went to see chris beckman (from mtv's real world) speak here in denver about his recovery from drug addiction thru a 12 step program. there was a young man singing this song and playing guitar before chris went on. i then knew that the world still holds wonderful surprises for me. i credit this song as a sign that my chi, my soulforce, my raison d'etre might actually begin to realign. actually, their much newer song "dig" is just as compelling for me. i dig this band and dig their messaging.


INCUBUS - Drive

Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer.
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.

Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there..I'll be there.

So, if I decide to waiver my chance to be one of the hive
Will I choose water over wine and hold my own and drive?
Aah-ah-oo-o-o.

It's driven me before and it seems to be the way
that everyone else gets around.
But lately I'm beginning to find that when
I drive myself my light is found.

Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeahhh
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there...I'll be there.

Would you choose water over wine....hold the wheel and drive?

Whatever tomorrow brings,
I'll be there with open arms and open eyes, Yeah
Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there..I'll be there.
Do do do do do do do do do do do
ohh wa oh, do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do
ohh wa oh

true
as truth
distinct
as laughter
familiar
as dream
unforgotten
the way blossoms
grow from
poems
writ in seeds
each journey’s eye
opens in
one city

all roads
go there
all promises
all satisfactions
depart in
the company of
travelers
moving on
