World Traveler (Live) · letra

I grew up in a little town A southern mix of lost and found Where most folks seem to stick around But I could hear the highway song I'd sit out on the dock till dawn And dream about the great beyond

I dreamed that I was

A world traveler Set me loose to find my way Just get me out on the road someday With my sails unfurled So many mysteries I wanted to unravel If I could travel the world
Soon enough I had my way I saw the world the Lord has made Mostly from the interstate But I had hardly seen a thing Until I gave a golden ring To the one who gave her heart to me

And I became

A world traveler That's the day I hit the road 'Cause I walked the hills of the human soul Of a tender girl I'm a world traveler She opened the gate and took my hand And led me into the mystic land Where her galaxies swirl So many mysteries I never will unravel I want to travel the world
Take a left at the end of my street Just a few doors down Up the hill and into the trees There's a hole in the ground Where we traveled the caverns so deep We wandered the wonders so wide It was right beneath our feet All this time, all this time
Tonight I saw the children in their rooms Little flowers all in bloom Burning suns and silver moon And somehow in that starry sky The image of the Maker lies Right here beneath my roof tonight

So hold on tight, I'm a

World traveler Pack yours bags and dig down deep Let's ride the storms and sail the seas To the distant pole I'm a world traveler Into these uncharted lands To blaze a trail in the vast expanse Of the heart and soul In the grace of the God of peace Let's wade into the battle Come on, come on with me And get up in that saddle There's a million mysteries I never will unravel Come on, let's travel the world
