Travel Far Away From Home

Ever since I was a child
Restless as a river
I’d want to run
From everything I’d known
Blue horizon
It was calling me to wander
Travel far away from home
Travel far away from home

With the turning of the trees
Turning of the season
Wild windblown leaves
I’d wonder where they’ve flown
Turn to follow
It’s my soul that wants to wander
Travel far away from home
Travel far away from home

Inside my dreams
I’m swept into a breeze
That calls and carries me
Out through a cloudless sky
And where the rivers overflow
I rise as though
A northern gust of wind’s inviting me to fly

All the people that I love
The places so familiar
I’ll leave behind
For now that I am grown
Blue horizon
It’s calling me to wander
To travel far away from home
Travel far away from home
Travel far away from home
Travel far away from home

That restless river
Flowing farther
Than oceans
As endless as sky
A call to travel far away from home

Set to Pat Metheny’s “Travels”
