Who am I on this island of life?

Who am I on this island of life?
spinning: Kitaro - Island of Life

Yesterday's band - Baka something E Grupo sang this song titled Follow Your Road. This slower tune was a nice change from the samba-type music the band was playing most of the night, and the lyrics kinda stuck with me. I think it'll be a great pick-me-up for those who are like me, currently feeling just a tad aimless. Here are the lyrics, courtesy of Warm Blog.

With so many roads that seem to lead down to the sea
I wonder which road will be the right one for me
Others may fall away, dead ending left and right
But there is this one road that journeys far out aside?

Have you wondered where your road will lead you?
Maybe to a bright day of sunshine
Or a starry night in heaven
Or it might be you're afraid to go, afraid to go
You've got to follow your road
Or you'll never know, never know.

We are all but travelers living in a foreign land
Just trying to find our way best as we can
Looking for an answer, trying to find some light
And though we have journeyed far, it's not quite far enough

Have you wondered where your road will lead you
Maybe to a song that needs singing or a summer rain (don't be afraid to go)
Or it might be you're afraid to go, afraid to go
But you've got to follow your road, or you'll never know.
You've got to follow your road, follow your road, follow your road.

And maybe someday your road will take you far away

Keep following, and you'll find it
And someday you will get there
Don't be afraid.
