From the recording Unspoken
It's about thinking of someone you care about who's adrift. You don't know where they are or how they're doing, but your imagination is placing them somewhere so that you can send good thoughts.
Lyrics
I don’t know where you’re going to be tomorrow
I don’t know if you’ll sleep tonight.
You’re trying to stay ahead of some deep sorrow
Looking for your misplaced inner light
You make your way without a sextant or a compass
Dead reckoning without a map or a chart
You measure distance by fatigue that’s in your feet
Time is measured with your steady heart.
7 billion people in the world:
I’m thinking of just one right now.
Maybe you're looking to the eastern horizon
Beckoning the seven sisters rise
Maybe you’re using the pole star for guidance
With slowly changing northern winter skies
An unknown place remains your final destination
An unnamed spot upon this earth
I trust that you will find the general direction
Slouching towards an elemental birth
7 billion people in the world:
I’m thinking of just one right now.
