Nowhere is Always Near

[couchgrouch]

Nowhere is Always NearOnce I let drugs n drinkingtake me from uncertaintyI was driven from tomorrowby mirrors and burgundybut when you let go of the wheeland let the devil steerfar as you can go, high or lownowhere is always nearand if you die while flyingit's not hard to adjustthere ain't much of a diff'rencebetween powder and dustbut something in the skyhelped wipe my moment clearthe higher power knows we're weak when we're highand nowhere is always nearthinking I had nothing to lose made me lose controlone day I cut my lossesand thought I'd lost my soulbut there are no lost soulsheaven knows where they arecos even blind faithcan feel its way in the darkthe first step takes you the farthestbut it's a lifelong tripcos you're forever standingon the final stepI look ahead and look behindand see how God got me herebut if I sip that wineor cross that white lineI'll find nowhere is always near(c)2005 Robert George
