Editor's comments: *A beautiful song about waking up to the realization that nothing in life is perfect, and that the pursuit of perfection is exhausting, endless and unobtainable. It's a commentary on finding the beauty and joy in what we may already have to feel whole.*

Favorite lyric:

*There's no fortune at the end of the road that has no end.*  
*There's no returning to the spoils*  
*Once you've spoiled the thought of them.*  
*There's no falling back asleep*  
*Once you've wakened from the dream*  
*Now I'm rested and I'm ready,*  
*I'm rested and I'm ready to begin.*
