I don't know what made me do it, but I quit my job today
Turns out that there was nothing to it I just got up and walked away
And after all those years of... talking about it
It feels so good to just be walking... let me shout it now
Chorus
I'm one step nearer where I need to be...yeah
Following a voice I'm hearing deep inside of me
And it's saying there's a bigger road map than the one I see
Where I'm one step nearer where I need to be
Now I don't know where I'm going, only that I've got to go
And it's a different kind of knowing than I have ever had before
It's like some compass in my heart....holding steady
That's got me headed for some star...now I'm ready and ...Chorus
Bridge
No point in going places I've already been
Though all I really know of what lies up ahead is...Chorus
