Let Your Instinct be Your Guide

I don’t know why - the willows cry

The bridges sigh - or the time flies by

I only know - that snow can snow

And wind can blow - and the rivers flow

Nature does things naturally

That’s the way it ought to be

If you want to ride the tide

Let your instinct be your guide


Chorus:

Let your instinct be your voice

Never second guess its choice

When your head & heart collide

Let your instinct be your guide


A tuning fork - well it can’t talk

And it can’t walk - and sure can’t squawk

But when it’s stirred - it’s voice is heard

It’s wings are blurred - like a Hummingbird

Primal voice in concert key

Makes the choice inside of me

When the time comes to decide

I let instinct be my guide


Chorus:


On fortune’s wheel - we wound or heal

But if we feel - then we know it’s real

We dance our dance - on whims of chance

A waking trance - of a life’s romance

Read with ears and you’ll be wise

Sing through tears your hopes will rise

Shed the chains of foolish pride

Let your instinct be your guide


Chorus:
