Stranger might be these tides for me
But a home is not what I seek today
A quest this is, that and a dream
A dream to wander faraway
And wander I shall in this realm and beyond
In woods and plains and hills and valleys
Aboard the boat and then we float
Among the trading ships and the war galleys
Wonder you might, if I shall prevail
But not a shred of doubt is there in my heart
What life is for if not to set the sail
To breathe the sea, to love and part
They come and go, the sun and the stars
And sky is the landscape they paint
With a thunder here and a storm there
Its picture perfect, no smudge no taint
And behold did I, the sight of gulls
Racing the wind against the clouds
Soaring the heights, on and on
To a world I could only dream about
A whale and a seal, I could saw
And a squid there far across
A school of fish and then another
And there goes the Albatross
No wonder I’m done, with rest for a while
How could now I sleep about?
From dusk to dawn, I’m up all night
These wonders, I can’t live without
And comes the day, I am done for good
I want to acclaim with haughty eyes
Wanderer I was since the dawn of age
Wanderer I will be, till the end of life
