Travelin' Light
Leaving my bags behind
and takin' the road,
I'm leaving the past behind me,
and traveling back home.
The sky's above my head,
the road's winding wide,
I've given up pretending
that my past can decide.
There's a wind right behind me,
and horizons to discover,
the road is my friend
my shadow, and my brother.
I've got time to be thinking
and time to pass the day,
the answers to living,
are just footsteps away.
Friends are believing
that the fates can decide,
but I'm taking my chances,
that my luck won't decide.
I'm not over the hill,
nor wasting my time,
I'm on a journey to believe in
and I'm doing just fine.
There's no start, no ending
nor an end point in mind,
just the jigsaw of memory,
and what I'm leaving behind.
No signs nor distances,
to lead me astray,
The road leads me forwards,
just passing through each day.
I'm letting go of myself,
to stop feeding the past,
embracing the present
as no future can last.
Taking each moment
each breath, in delight,
the stars still guide me,
and not only at night.
So farewell from the journey
as I'm preparing to go,
the ending is a beginning
I wanted you to know.
No journeys are lost,
no discoveries can be found,
without first trusting the journey,
knowing your homeward bound.
