New Directions

V1:

There's a couple billion stories

Writin' new chapters every day

Each one a little different

But many connected some way

Some woven together

Some forever changed by

The way they intersected

Chorus:

Everyone's got people,

That pushed them in new directions

Following a path till you meet them

Then, you stray to the left

Take the scenic route

Till your paths look different

Push off in a new direction

And the plans you thought you had

Change like a shift in a gentle breeze

Waiting for the next direction

V2:

Could be teachers or preachers

Lovers or friendships

Short-term interactions

Or long-term attractions

They may come and go

But from them, you grow

An everlasting impact

On the shape of your path

Chorus:

Everyone's got people,

That pushed them in new directions

Following a path till you meet them

Then, you stray to the left

Take the scenic route

Till your paths look different

Push off in a new direction

And the plans you thought you had

Change like a shift in a gentle breeze

Waiting for the next direction

Bridge:

Ain't always as clear as a GPS

Thrown some random rights and lefts

Just roll with the ebs and flows

Down this path with endings unknown

Chorus:

Everyone's got people,

That pushed them in new directions

Following a path till you meet them

Then, you stray to the left

Take the scenic route

Till your paths look different

Push off in a new direction

And the plans you thought you had

Change like a shift in a gentle breeze

Waiting for the next direction
