Incomplete
Navigating Life's Broken Maps: The Janzen Boys' Incomplete Journey
Lyrics
I got my information second-hand
I received information indirectly
That life was better in the Promised Land
The belief that life was better in a promised land
Now my shoe leather's gone
My shoe leather is worn out
And the scenery is all wrong
The surroundings are not as expected
Now I'm finding what it really means
Discovering the true meaning
True love is harsh compared to love in dreams
Real love is challenging compared to dream love
Of a broken canon law
Reference to a broken religious law
And a sinner's first hallelujah
A sinner's first expression of praise
There's a lock for this key
There is a solution for this problem
But the map is incomplete
The guidance is incomplete
I don't know how to go
Uncertainty about the path forward
But if you set your eyes on me
If you focus on me, you can liberate me
You'd set me free
Freedom through someone else's attention
The truth is slippery but it seems to me
Truth is elusive, often found in uncertainty
You find it mainly in uncertainty
Uncertainty is a common ground for truth
When the volume is turned down
Even in silence, the internal song persists
But you're still singing
Continuing commitment despite challenges
The Promise isn't necessarily
The promise may not align with expectations
Just exactly what they said it'd be
It's not exactly as promised
It doesn't have to be true
Truth doesn't have to be absolute
If it gets you where you're going to
Pragmatism: If it works, it's valid
There's a lock for this key
There is a solution for this problem
But the map is incomplete
The guidance is incomplete
I don't know how to go
Uncertainty about the path forward
But if you set your eyes on me
If you focus on me, you can liberate me
You'd set me free
Freedom through someone else's attention
You'd set me free
Reiteration of the potential freedom
I got my information second-hand
I received information indirectly
That life was better in the Promised Land
The belief that life was better in a promised land
Now my shoe leather's gone
My shoe leather is worn out
And the scenery is all wrong
The surroundings are not as expected
Now I'm finding what it really means
Discovering the true meaning
True love is harsh compared to love in dreams
Real love is challenging compared to dream love
Of a broken canon law
Reference to a broken religious law
And a sinner's first hallelujah
A sinner's first expression of praise
There's a lock for this key
There is a solution for this problem
But the map is incomplete
The guidance is incomplete
I don't know how to go
Uncertainty about the path forward
But if you set your eyes on me
If you focus on me, you can liberate me
You'd set me free
Freedom through someone else's attention
You'd set me free
Reiteration of the potential freedom
