With the wind at my back
I start traveling on
Til the place I am headed
Is the place I belong
Continue to climb
Continue to seek
Til all I can carry
Is all that I need
With stars on the rise
And the sky put to sleep
I find all I own
In the people I cherish
And the places Ive seen
On a route headed west
Toward a mountain ravine
I toss all my worries
Down an untroubled stream
With no sorrow to mend
the endless days drawn
new light uncovers
What was there all along
With the stars on the rise
And the sky put to sleep
I Recall what’s owed
For a life worth pursuing
And the chance to be free
With dusk at my feet
And dawn just ahead
I barter tomorrow
For a safe place to rest
With the wind at my back
I keep traveling on
Til the place I am headed
Is the place I belong

This moments been stolen
With the words I can’t change
They’re left there to linger
They are left there to stay
I tried hard to find you
But you never showed
Is this something I’ll carry
Out all on my own
If your eyes could see through
To the depths of my mind
I’d kindly greet you
And wish you farewell
That moments been buried
With a town with no rain
Where it is forgotten
Where it feels no pain
It can’t for certain
But somehow I know
I still hear the echo
From the canyon below
If your heart could reach through
To the depths of my mind
I’d kindly greet you
And leave this dead weight behind
I have been searching
Still I find no relief
From the poison of virtue
And the loss that it brings
If I run for the foothills
Will I find my own way
Or will I end up forgotten
Til the end of my days
If your eyes could see through
To the depths of all time
I’d kindly greet you
And keep you safe on my mind
