ABOUT THIS SONG In 1993, I had just decided to start traveling to share my new creations. A former Unity Minister from San Luis Obispo, CA had relocated to a church in Missoula, Montana, and invited me up to share music. As I prepared for the trip, I started having trepidations. I cleared some ancient debris with an astrologer friend, and headed out unimpeded. Still, along the highway through Eastern Oregon, I was feeling uncertain. I started to create a singable mantra "No matter what, I will be OK." By the end of the trip, the song had been fleshed out. It has since served many who are in the midst of change. |
SONG LYRICS: NO MATTER WHAT It’s somewhere and it’s sometime, an unfamiliar trail A hoped for destination, a half lived fairy tale I’m on the road, and a feeling lights my way No matter what unfolds, I’ll be OK And the highway pulls me onward, I’m beckoned by the moon There’s an answer in here somewhere, everything’s a clue I’m on the road Though a part of me just kicks and screams to stay I know no matter what, I’ll be OK Oh, the traveling gets lonely, it’s forever at the wheel I relive some lost affection as I search for something real I’m on the road Oh, I just might lose my way But I know no matter what, I’ll be OK Is this the promise of tomorrow Is this the future’s luring call Is this my ticket to the golden gate of Heaven Or just my last hurrah And the miles move like clockwork, there’s nothing to impede I’m trusting in God’s highway, I’m cruising at full speed I’m on the road This could be my perfect day For I know no matter what, I’ll be OK It’s people and it’s places, it’s the highway’s haunting song It’s the wisdom of experience that pulls this man along I’m on the road And all that I can say Is I know no matter what, I’ll be OK © AUGUST 31, 1996.
