Lyrics

I've traveled far across the seas,
To strange and distant lands,
And laid my body down to rest
Upon Italian sands.
I've seen the way the stars reflect
Upon the Swedish fjords,
And watched aurora's dance with glee
So far away up north.

And though I yearn
For the open roads and misadventures
The lie beyond the pale,
I am assured that close to home is where my heart
Shall stay forevermore.

I've journeyed deep with my mind
To a place beyond compare,
And roved its hushed and silent halls
To find some meaning there.
I've sought to learn the ins and outs
Of my strange and cryptic soul.
To gain awareness deep inside;
Trust fate and just let go.

And though I long
To dispel the doubt and apprehension
That haunts my deepest dreams,
I am assured that close to home is where my faith
Shall remain forevermore.

And life, it moves along to a steady beat,
Like a never-ending song.

And as I strive
To be a constant part of nature's cadence,
That sweet, sustaining flow,
I am assured that close to home is where my spirit
Remains forevermore.
