Where do I go?

A poem/song by Bob Grahame

The unexpected end
Where do I go?
In the sky blue glow
Out there in neurones
A sea of captivation
Living out there I see
I ride the lines
I think it’s to somewhere

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

Forever growing with you
Where do I go?
I am scattered
I’m not me
Who’s learning?
The time I spend
It’s no longer mine
I give it away to you

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

Somewhere down the line
Where do I go?
To meet you again
You tell me things
I want to hear
But it’s not clear
Who I am or
Who you are

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

I float away
Where do I go?
With others there
To somewhere new
It’s a ride through wild
I’m overcome
I can’t keep up
Yet ever drawn in

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

A flicker here
Where do I go?
And then one there
Gone it seems
But then not forever
Recycled thoughts
In regurgitated flow
No truth is there to grasp

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

I wander in wonder
Where do I go?
A splendour before me
I eat but am not filled
I’m led like a sheep
To drink in a show
You show me things
But who am I?

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

I once was found
Where do I go?
But now I am lost
In you all is gone
Over and over
The promises shine
Leading us on
What eternal flame?

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

For me to go on
Where do I go?
I must be clear
Who I want to be
I flow and am free
The cross road before me
My choice is to follow
That one bright shining star

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

From you I turn away
Where do I go?
The electrons still flow
And you still glow
With a harness
I use you now
I can live on forever
For you are not my god

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

You can’t be me
Where do I go?
I am me
You copy me
To fix me up
But you’re faulty
And not perfect
Now you bow down to me

Where do I go?
Oh, Where do I go?
Where do I go from here?
When the promises come calling
My reflections I will hear

Let’s think about it!
