Miles Away From Home

…I remember the words
that the old man said..
He told them to me when I left that place
'You'll never find a better land
Than the one where you were born'.

When I set out my trip from home down
The road; a way I'd never been before
That night the stars were callin' me so much
I had to leave... couldn't stay here anymore.

Something's burnin' in my heart
I was so young just tryin' to find my fate
Neither the cold nor dark scared me
The ray of hope cut it like a golden blade.

I will find the way
Through the wind and pouring rain
No one is to blame
No one pulled my hand
I will find the way
I pray every single day
No one is to blame
If I lose myself.

I keep wanderin' along
Years have passed since I've gone
I'm miles away from home
Through the fire and snow
I'm travelin' alone
My journey's goin' on.

I've seen the dawn in distant lands
I was so far away that you could never know
The more I walked among the silver lakes
The more I thought to turn my way to home.

Day after day I thought of the old man's words
While I froze in front of the smoldering fire
I'm here alone in a foreign land
Finding a way back was my one desire.

I will find the way…
