WONDERMENT THOUGHT
Hospitality is not a subtle invitation to adore the lifestyle of the host, but the gift of a chance for the guest to find his own. - Henri Nouwen

This song deals with the uncertainty of life and is about reaching our own "divine purpose." It seems that the narrator/singer is worried that he will go through life and have nothing to show for it, thus dying without having achieved anything. It also suggests that this fear of not becoming somebody, or amounting to anything can ultimately consume and depress us.
There is lot of imagery which suggests being insignificant, irrelevant or unimportant in the course of life and in relation to the enormity of the world: "JUST a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel JUST a grain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill". He indicates uncertainty of direction and lifestyle choice: "I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear". This lack of direction or quest to success can distract us and alienate us from those we love: "I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear All this apathy you feel, will make a fool of us all". And ultimately, this fear will consume us: "I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear"
He then suggests that really we can only amount to what we have earnt; we are responsible for our own decisions and that to an extent, we have some control of our aspirations and future if we have the right approach: "I will become what i deserve".
