Anyone Like Me – 8/17/2009 – Susan Varo

Is there anyone out here like me

Underneath this Moab sky

I’ve been through the fiery furnace

Just listen I’ll tell you why

Who painted all this landscape

Carved these petroglyphs I see

Who picked and picked these pictographs

Were they just like me

Is there anyone near Arches

Am I supposed to be

Thinking there is someone out here

Is there anyone like me

I’m not like most I’ll travel

Off the beaten path

I’ll let others sort it out

Let them do the math

I’m not trying to set examples

I just want my time on earth

To be all the things I’m living for

And to be all that it’s worth

These open roads before me

Like my imagination they will branch

But I must be heading back now

To the Sorrel River Ranch

There was no one out here like me

At least out on their own

And with someone I won’t be

Traveling all alone

I’m sure as I keep going

Soon someone will be

And if you are looking to venture out

With anyone like me
