Whirlwind

I could never have imagined
that I would have such luck
Took a diff'rent turn one day,
the future opened up

In front of me a purpose,
behind me heavy thoughts
Energized and hypnotized
by lightning I had caught

I could never have envisioned
how quickly things take shape
One night in Bohemia,
the next another state

I never dreamed in focus,
but I always looked ahead
I never thought it hopeless,
despite what I had said

Fate is never simple,
and destiny's no end;
it's just a new beginning,
a chance to not pretend

It introduces meaning
and the ones we put above
It lets you slip into a life
that fits more like a glove

On a morning to remember,
eighteen past the seven
One more greets the world
No more days unleavened

All our fears they fade away,
but soon they'll be replaced
Late nights in a darkened room,
our future in a face

On a morning in September,
not yet a month had passed
"Cherish all the time you have,
they grow up oh so fast."

In the middle of the whirlwind,
there's calm before the storm
There's silence in that moment
when many thoughts are born

Where will our journey take us?
What will tomorrow bring?
What's next to discover?
And what next will we sing?

In the middle of the kitchen,
the sacrifice we make
Shaking up reality,
just trying to awake

I never dreamed in focus,
but I always looked ahead
I never thought it hopeless,
despite what I had said

Fate is never simple,
and destiny's no end;
it's just a new beginning,
a chance to not pretend

It introduces meaning
and the ones we put above
It lets you slip into a life
that fits more like a glove

I am ready for the challenge,
for which I think I'm made
But only one thing's certain:
of this I'm not afraid

With you to walk beside me,
sometimes a step ahead,
we've found a comfort level;
we've made our queen-sized bed

I am ready for the unknown,
a happy masochist
We're in this thing together --
small joys and laundry lists
