Lyrics
Journeyman
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He's crossed a hundred thousand light years maybe more
He's back, he couldn't find what he was looking for
Mother earth was figthing for her life
But the knife cut in too deep
In his quest for life a new
Was it worth what he's been through?
What could he do?
Journeyman
Turn the clock back if you can
Journeyman
You chose to be a journeyman
He took an endless flight and stumbled down the years
Caught in a space of doubt and universal fears
Forgotten days and children never grown
Watched as man fell to his knees
Tired of building up the walls
Till there's no air left to breath
Will they believe?
Journeyman
Turn the clock back if you can
Journeyman
The power note is in your hands
And the children that she served
Watched her laying down to sleep
Can they save this dying world?
As they sow, will they reap
Journeyman
Turn the clock back if you can
Journeyman
Damn the future wreck the plan
Journeyman
Back to make a final stand
Journeyman
The one they call the journeyman
On a voyage of a billion dreams untold
Just to see it all get blown away
And we'll go back and burn in time
If evolution leaves us where we lay
