Name: Traveller's Blessing
Duration: P00H04M16S
Description: I wrote this song at a time when I was missing friends and family who were adventuring in different parts of the world. I was also dealing with a certain sadness that came with the idea that everyone was growing up and moving on without me. As I tried to figure out what these feelings said about my own life, I could only wish them the best on their journeys and work on this song.

lyrics

Traveller Traveller out on the road,
Where are you going all on your own?
How many miles from here to the start?
How many more nights till you find your way home?

CHORUS
May you walk in the light in the wake of the shadow
In the midst of the night may you know dawn is near
May your path become clear when the roads become
In the face of your fear may your heart never fail

Traveller Traveller out in the dark,
Are you running from troubles too big for such youth?
Are you looking for something you cant seem to find?
In a world of tricks do you search for the truth?

Traveller Traveller in each new home,
I hope you can find everything that you need.
That the people you meet are just friends in disguise
And good fortune will take up the lead.

CHORUS

Traveller Traveller rest here a while
If you find you grow tired of this wandering game.
When you leave to continue your travelling song,
Know that this friend was glad that you came.

CHORUS
