Adventure

Everywhere I turn, there are people just like me
All searching, desperately, for adventure
Risking life and limb in a million daring deeds
For everybody needs their adventure
But little do they know
There's adventure in the eyes
Of a young and unknown love
On an unexpected street
Though you never meant to meet
You take hold of this surprise
And you learn each other's name
Soon you're in the game once again
And then...

Don't get taken in by some made-up movie
Who copies what we are: we're adventure
In a quiet day, you will find a sudden turn
To follow it, you'll learn, is adventure
In a stranger's face
In the corner of a smile
In a shop you'd never seen
In a street you'd thought you'd known
In a voice upon the phone
Who you accidentally dial ...
There's a hundred turns each day
Soon you're on your way once again
And then ...

And I stand in total awe at the simplest things that
People say and do
I think true adventure lies in the ins and outs of those
Like me and you
