the journeyman travails - what are you searching for

a lil one asked me yesterday, journeyman what are you searching for
you travel far and wide, is it for the gold in the river or the diamonds in the mines

i wonder what to tell her, for what gold can buy and diamond can decorate
is, but a crown, better suited for museums; to come once in a while, admire and move on

i tell her of my prayers to the lord in the night
that my life be one of adventure, one of seeking

that i search for peace inside
and that i spread smiles outside

the wanderer

the road moves...takes me along
the black asphalt melting under the afternoon sun...
and when the night comes we set up the tents
on the beach under the wishful moon
and then morning says wake up mr.
put on your shoes...where u going today hon
