I walk towards places
where I never can arrive,
still I marvel at the view.
The things I’ve seen
stir my appetite.
I love the old; I want the new
Oh, this traitor heart,
full of thankful discontent…
I’m always living in between.
Every season has a chill
and needs a fire.
Every night gives up to day.
My eyes are opened
by the pain to see the light.
Beauty has the final say.
Friends and lovers have discovered
I can hold their hand
and be a million miles away.
I return
and looking deep into their eyes
for a moment…
but my roaming heart won’t stay.
Oh….
My feet are tired
so I sit and close my eyes
and turn my smile towards the sun.
Grace and mercy
fill my lungs and fill my songs.
Wind catches feet, I love to run.
