I found myself wondering today
|
Why do some go and some stay
|
Do each of our hearts know their way
|
Through valleys of sorrow and tears
|
Across oceans of longing and years
|
And the sound of it all in my ears
|
|
I traveled
|
I traveled so far
|
I traveled so far to be here
|
|
And you with the blue in your eyes
|
The storms of life leave a few lines
|
And squinting you search for the signs
|
Of kindness, of love, of someone
|
To walk with in rain or in sun
|
Until then, life's hardly begun
|
|
You traveled
|
You traveled so far
|
You traveled so far to be here
|
|
It's worth it all learning at last
|
The future begins with the past
|
Step out of the shadow it casts
|
And let the sun shine on your shoes
|
Kick 'em off in the rain if you choose
|
There's nothing like nothing to lose
|
|
We traveled
|
We traveled so far
|
We traveled
|
We traveled
|
We traveled so far
|
We traveled so far to be here
|

We Traveled So Far
