The Fool

No past behind these weathered shoes
No path ahead, no map to lose
I carry only hope and bone
Walking the edge of the unknown
My soul is pounding in my chest
I trust the fall will do the rest
No crown, no sin, no soul to prove
Just need to make the opening move

There is no path until you walk it
There is no fate until you choose it
There is no self until you lose it
And I choose everything

I am the child before her given name
The innocent who leaps towards human shame
Not lost, not found, not wise or wrong
Just waiting to find where I belong
And the world takes one deep breath
And we leap into what's next

You say beware, you say prepare
But what's a life that's lived in fear?
The caged and lost, may call me mad
But knowing pain is better than never had
I'd rather fall a thousand times
Than never hear the Fool's first rhyme
And now we stand close to the edge
I feel the memories flood my head

There is no path until you walk it
There is no fate until you choose it
There is no self until you lose it
And I choose everything

I am the child before her given name
The innocent who leaps towards human shame
Not lost, not found, not wise or wrong
Just waiting to find where I belong
And the world takes one deep breath
And we leap into what's next

A step with no shadow
A name with no sound
The sky is wide open
And there is no ground

A step with no shadow
A name with no sound
The sky is wide open
And there is no ground

And there is no ground
A step with no shadow
A name with no sound

I am the child before her given name
The innocent who leaps towards human shame
Not lost, not found, not wise or wrong
Just waiting to find where I belong
And the world takes one deep breath
And we leap into what's next

I am the child before her given name
The innocent who leaps towards human shame
Not lost, not found, not wise or wrong
Just waiting to find where I belong
And the world takes one deep breath
And we leap into what's next
