I am me – who are you
I’m on my way to somewhere through tomorrow
If that’s where you’re going, too
Would you care to walk with me today
Living for the moment – feelin’ what I feel
Nowhere in particular to go
And nothing to conceal

Walk with me – I’ll be your companion
I may not have an awful lot to say
You can be anything you want to
And anytime you want to walk away – it’s okay

Chances come – fortunes go
And I don’t know what lies beyond the crossroad
Since I’m tryin’ to travel light
I got no past or future on my mind
Through all my reflections – one thing is plain to see
Knowin’ I am not alone
Means more than anything to me
