Lyrics
[Verse 1] You tied your red scarf to the trail marker Pointed where the painted arrows bend I had a map with half the places missing And no good reason to pretend [Pre-Chorus] The hill rose up beyond the pines Your laugh kept pace with mine [Chorus] So take the path that isn't marked Carry your question like a spark If the compass shakes, let it shake We are more than the turns we take Step by step, the wide world starts Opening its thousand hearts [Verse 2] A hawk cut loose above the valley Gold dust lifted from the ground We crossed a bridge of weathered timber While the river pulled us southbound [Pre-Chorus] No sign could tell us where to go But every mile began to show [Chorus] So take the path that isn't marked Carry your question like a spark If the compass shakes, let it shake We are more than the turns we take Step by step, the wide world starts Opening its thousand hearts [Bridge] When the ridge turns blue with distance When the names all fall away I will meet you at the summit With a brighter kind of brave [Final Chorus] Take the path that isn't marked Carry your question like a spark If the compass shakes, let it shake We are more than the turns we take Step by step, the wide world starts Opening its thousand hearts [Outro] Red scarf dancing on the marker Two small figures moving on
