WANDERER

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

NOVEMBER 2017

WAYFARER WANDERER, WHISPERING WIND

WHERE IS IT THIS TIME THAT YOU'VE BEEN

OVER ANOTHER MOUNTAIN PASS

 AND BACK DOWN TO THE TREES 

DID THE BEAUTY BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES

WILL YOU BE OFF AGAIN SOON

HE LOOKED AT ME AND SMILED

A HINT OF A FLASH IN HIS EYES

JUST CAN'T DISGUISE HIS NEED TO BE ON HIS WAY

A DIFFERENT PLACE AND A NEW DAY 

TO WATCH THE SUN DRIFT AWAY

 NO CHANCE TO ROOT

NO CHANCE HE'LL STAY

SOUL THAT BELONGS TO THE PREVAILING WINDS

THERE AND BACK, AND THERE AND BACK AGAIN 

UP BEFORE THE DAWN

BEFORE THE SUN LIGHTS THE HORIZON, HE'S GONE

HILLS AND MOUNTAINS THAT MUST BE CLIMBED

FORESTS OF SPRUCE AND PINE

TAKING HIS TIME

REST HIS HEAD NEAR A WATERFALL 

CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING ELSE AT ALL

LOOKING UP AT THE MILKY WAY

SO CLOSE BUT SO FARAWAY

HE CARRIES AN AIR OF MYSTERY

LIKE IT'S HIS DESTINY 

HE KNOWS YOU HAVE TO KEEP ON MOVING 

OR LIFE JUST SLIPS AWAY

NO ONE KNOWS HIS AGE

BUT I ONCE HEARD HIM SAY

EVEN IF YOU'RE ALL THE WAY IN

IN THE END NO ONE GETS AWAY

BUT IF I'M WANDERING FARAWAY

MAYBE I WON'T KNOW

I'LL JUST KEEP GOING

MY SHADOW WANDERING

WAYFARER WANDERER, WHISPERING WIND

WHERE TO THIS TIME

SOMEWHERE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN

I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN

BUT TAKE THESE WORDS WITH YOU WHEN YOU GO

TO REMIND YOU IT'S ALL SO MEANINGFUL

I RESPECT AND I UNDERSTAND THE WAYS YOU CHOOSE

AND THE PATH YOU'RE ON 

YOU HAVE TO SEE WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE 

YOU HAVE TO GO OUT TO MEET LIFE

IF YOUR HEART BECOMES HARD

YOU MUST SEEK TO REACH OUT TO NATURE

INSIDE IT'S CONFINES

THE SILENCE SPEAKS SO MANY WORDS, YOU NEED TO HEAR
