Where am I going
How do I get there
What should I bring along
Are people kind there
Is peace of mind there
Will I finally belong

Cause you know ships sail their courses
And heroes ride horses
They know where they belong
But I travel in circles
Quickly to nowhere
Singing my unfinished song

Some poets say that
There'll come a day that
I'll find a place for me
Why aren't I there yet
Why can't I share yet
Why can't my heart be free

Cause you know ships sail their courses
And heroes ride horses
They know where they belong
But I travel in circles
Quickly to nowhere
Singing my unfinished song

Interpretation

At this point in their careers, the hope of hitting it big seemed like it would never come.  Dennis and his friends had been playing together for years, gaining a growing following and a record contract, but it still seemed like they were chasing a dream they may never reach. One might begin to question themselves, write off their dreams as futile or just romantic, but yet they continue.
