I'm not on empty.   I'm not on full.
I'm not stuck in a rut.   I'm in a lull.
I'm not going forward.   I'm not going back.
But my wheels aren't spinning.   I'm waiting for a track

that attracts me
a track that pulls
me to follow it
so life can be full.

I'm not even searching.  But my senses are keen.
Sometimes I'm wide awake.   Sometimes I dream.
But mostly
I'm not on empty.   I'm not on full.
I'm not stuck in a rut.   I'm in a lull.
I'm taking a break,  getting my breath back,
scanning the horizon,  looking for a track

that attracts me
a track that pulls
me to follow it
so life can be full.

I'm taking it easy,  letting tiredness fade,
doing what needs doing,  stretching in the shade.

But mostly
I'm not on empty.    I'm not on full.
I'm not stuck in a rut.    I'm in a lull.
Maybe it looks like I'm going nowhere fast.
But I know this slow time will not last.

'Cause
I'm not on empty.    I'm not on full.
I'm not stuck in a rut.    I'm just in a lull.
I'm resting myself,  getting my strength back,
the strength I need for loving,  a loving that attracts

a strong keen loving
a loving that pulls
a new warm loving
so life can be full.
