Lyrics

The Hero's Journey
(Dedicated to Joseph Campbell 1904-1987)

And when I lay down to sleep
Fond memories you'll surely keep
Of tears and laughter soft and kind
As journey's end brings peace of mind

The hero's journey, the hero's journey
The hero's journey

And when I wade into the fire
The flames take back all desire
The Great Spirit shakes my hand
A welcome to the promised land

The wild spirit roams the eternal plains
In everlasting joy free from mortal chains

And when I'm scattered on the earth
Weeping women shall give birth
To another such as me
Searching for their destiny
