Lyrics

Traveling

I have traveled by planes and trains
But it?s everywhere the same
The roads that you take
Have been waiting for you for most of your life
And for some daring ones
You gotta return some other time
Like there?s a higher spirit that leads you through your trip
And sends you your teachers when you?re ready for it
I?ve come a long way
And I can?t wait to see much more

Just an average girl
From an average place
Maybe raised sheltered
But surely not naïve
And I?m willing to learn and to conceive
The ways and philosophies this world conceals
On its windy roads and hidden tracks
And one thing I have learned so far
On this trip is that
The prettiest valleys and most overwhelming views
Hide behind the most curious crossroads that you choose
I?ve come a long way
And I can?t wait to see much more

On my way through towns and countries
I?ve met pretenders, clowns and saints
I?ve met travelers on a mission
And free spirits in chains
I saw the devil from a distance
And angels in disguise
They inspired all my senses
And let my spirits rise
I saw the beauty of creation
Felt an awe I never knew
Found dignity in silence
And love behind the crude
I?ve come a long way
I?ve come a long, long way
I?ve come a long, long, long, long way
And I can?t wait to see much more
