Let the Compass Spin

[Verse 1]
I drew a line, then let it bend
Past the old gate, around the bend
A paper map can miss the fun
Of seeing where the wild roads run

[Pre-Chorus]
No need to know the final place
I’ll take the turn that catches my gaze

[Chorus]
Let the compass spin, let it spin
I don’t need to know where I’ll land
Let the compass spin, pull me in
There’s a whole wide world I haven’t planned
If the needle dances, let it dance
Every wrong-way turn’s a chance
Let the compass spin, let it spin
I’m already on my way again

[Verse 2]
The creek cuts through the market square
A boy sells oranges by the stairs
I trade my timetable for a taste
And take the long road without haste

[Pre-Chorus]
No need to name the distant shore
I’ll follow what I’m curious for

[Chorus]
Let the compass spin, let it spin
I don’t need to know where I’ll land
Let the compass spin, pull me in
There’s a whole wide world I haven’t planned
If the needle dances, let it dance
Every wrong-way turn’s a chance
Let the compass spin, let it spin
I’m already on my way again

[Bridge]
Maybe the answer’s not a place
Maybe it’s the changing pace
I can wander, I can begin
With the little wheel turning within

[Final Chorus]
Let the compass spin, let it spin
I don’t need to know where I’ll land
Let the compass spin, pull me in
There’s a whole wide world I haven’t planned
If the needle dances, let it dance
Every wrong-way turn’s a chance
Let the compass spin, let it spin
I’m already on my way again

[Outro]
Let it spin
I’m on my way again
