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
