about

This song was inspired by the book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" by Dr. Suess.

lyrics

I've been standing at the crossroads
In a state of contemplation.
The sun beating on my face
Finding myself in the waiting place.

Waiting for the friend to call
To assure that I am loved.
Waiting for the train, the rain
And the wind to fly a kite.
Wanting someone to change my way
And tell me things will be okay.
Someone to take my loneliness away.

And the world seems so silent
And the colors so cold.
To fear that I didn't what I could've
By the day I'm too old

And there are people waiting on their way,
Waiting for the boom bands to play.
Living in the silence of a deaf man's play.

But there's a boom band playing
Inside of us all
As we're sweeping out the dust
In the concert hall
To let light shine through
Bringing colors like fall.

Because there's a boom band
Playing inside of my heart.
Inside of my heart.
There's a boom band playing
Inside of my heart. Inside of my heart.

I've been standing at the crossroads.
The crossroads. The sun beating on my face.
Finding myself in the waiting place.
For all of my life I've been waiting.
Get on the road, you know you've got to go right now.
I've been waiting for the song of my heart
To start.

Come to know that you can leave
The place in which you're waiting.
Somehow you will escape and
You'll find the brighter places.

Things can weigh you down
On the Grand Scale of Time
Seemingly without reason or rhyme.
But balance it out with a risk and a smile
After all, we are only here for a while.
