is there ever

Is there ever one thing and one thing only that will make a difference?
When I want something, it is only that one thing that I want,
or is that just the beginning?
When I listen to a song, there is a progression from beginning to end,
I can’t say I heard it if I didn’t listen to the whole thing.

Wonder how long an idea takes to come to fruition,
there’s something in the way from moving along that path.
Wonder how long it takes to move forward
Looking back, never actually knew when that happened
And one day it was different

Different in ways I could say and ways I didn’t know before
All along, there was a change
So subtle, minimal, staying and ever there
Still there and somehow…someway
It’s different
One day, each day

Those things I think I want when I can’t have them
Those things I do when I can
The time stretches, past where I’ve been
Through me and around me
Without me when the song takes me
Wherever, whenever… and I wonder.
