Soul Companion - Mary Chapin Carpenter, James Taylor

All of our dreams are laid out and measured

Arrows and pins and a rainbow of threads

Like hope on a string, sewn into the linings

For the courage to face the unknown ahead

My soul companion

Out in the world somewhere

My soul companion

I’ll meet you there

I’m packing my compass, trusted and tested

My dog-eared maps to study and fold

Into a pocket, I’m traveling light now

All that we have is all that we hold

My soul companion

In my heart you are

My soul companion

Just like a star

There are no borders, there are no boundaries

There are no fences up around me

But I get quiet and I get lonely

Just like everyone

These are the old roads, these are the stations

I look for my ride, you wait for your train

These are the chances, a life’s incantations

These are the places that don’t know our names

My soul companion

Love finds its own way in

My soul companion

Now let us begin

My soul companion

Out in the world somewhere

My soul companion

I’ll meet you there
