Story Behind The Song
So I was having lunch with a co-worker, who loved to compose piano instrumentals and with whom I had co-written a couple of songs, and he made the comment "Follow your muse." We paused and looked at each other and the next thing he said was "That's going to be our next song, isn't it?" And it was.

Lyrics
Follow Your Muse
V1: Come sit with me and I'll tell you a story
About a girl much like the one I see
So many dreams and one really big question
Who will I grow up to be?
Sat in the same chair where now you are sitting
As wide-eyed and open as I used to be
I had that same look as my life was unfolding
Here's what my Daddy told me
Cho: Follow your muse no matter which way it takes you
When it's time to choose, choose to follow your heart
It's up to you, it's gonna be your decision
You know you can't lose if you follow your muse
V2: When I was a girl we had far fewer choices
A nurse or a teacher, a mother and wife
I knew the path that others expected
Was not what I wanted from life
If I had my way I'd have been a musician
Play my guitar and piano for pay
I'd be doing that now if I only had listened
To what my Daddy would say
Cho:
Bridge: Don't get me wrong, I'm where I belong
I did what I had to do
I took the safe route and I did without
I want something better for you
V3: Now we live in an era where fortune is fashion
Make the most money you can in a day
I hope that you stay true to your passion
No matter what others may say
Cho:
