                                       Where Am I Going

  intro: very broadly and majestically

       Where am i going?


      /
Have I gone to far


       /
Have I lost my mind


              
     Where are my eyes


          /
Oh have I seen to much


       /
Have I lost my touch


          /         /         /
Losing di-   rections from growing in-  fections

            +5/      /    -5/
Poi  soned   de-      si          ires      of

/............................................................


             /
       What will I be    like


         
When my head is bear


        /
And my legs are weak

           /      -9+5                 /
      Will I be stro-o-ong              or barely    keep alive


         /
When I'm thirty-five


           /         /          /
Reaching di-  mensions that shatter con-  ventions

               +5/    /    -5/
Leads   me     to        fear       that    I'm

                                   /
It's farther from youth and closer to death


        /
And the things I've realized


           /
Now beckon me to shut my eyes


                      -9+5             /
And I will grow to the age              of maybe eighty years


         /
In such little time
