Song of Life

I want to walk through this doorway
I want to open my mind.
I want to pledge my allegiance
To all I can find.
I want a car that will crash through the barrier
To a road no one knows.
I want to feel less controlled; more abandoned
I want to land far from home.

The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is the perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if I cannot learn
To journey and return,
To never rest til I've seen all I can see.

I want to learn a completely new language
One I don't understand.
I want to help some lost, someone helpless
With the strength of my hand.
I want to come to the base of a statue built
Before they counted years.
There I'll fall with my face in my hands
And cry; feel their hope in my tears.

The revolution of the earth around the sun
Is a perfect lesson of how it should be.
So if I cannot learn
To journey and return,
To never rest til I've seen all I can see.

Train rides and pastures colliding,
Colors and customs I've never seen.
I know I,
Yes I know I,
I know I
Will stumble, but
Time is precious my friends.

No other journey can
Easily understand
The more that I see,
The more that I love.

So, this I swear to you,
And this I swear to me.
I'll never rest til I've seen all I can see.

No, I'll never rest until I've seen all I can see.

I want to know where the strength of a person lies
In this their past or their future.

No, I'll never rest until I've seen all I can see.
