Would I Know (song)

I wrote this as a poem a few years ago, and more recently adapted it into a song. Sorry I don't have a good demo to share... yet? ;-) Still maybe a work in progress, but here it is:

Would I Know?

I walk down roads as the sun is setting.

They seem familiar - can I find my way home?

I am dreaming as I am waking.

Am I lost? How would I know?

I both believe and don't believe;

I place my faith in the path ahead.

The truth is I feel so naïve.

Am I lost, or am I still in bed?

My life is like a journey, and I left my bags at home.

Now I've started, there's no turning back.

The truth I hold is merely rightness.

I do my best from day to day:

I live my life in dark and brightness.

Am I lost? How could I say?

My life is like a journey, and I left my bags at home.

Now I've started, there's no turning back.

I walk down roads as the sun is setting.

They seem familiar - can I find my way home?

I am dreaming as I am waking.

Am I lost? How would I know?

I actually often used to have dreams where I found myself wandering around the streets as the sun was starting to set, and I tried to find my way home but I kept getting lost or feeling like I couldn't get there. I decided to write about the dream and came up with this. The image of feeling lost in my life and needing to have faith in the process makes a lot of sense to me. Am I lost? I choose to say that I'm on the right track. It just may not look that way sometimes.
