From the recording The Journey Home
Lyrics
I step past the garden gate
Shoes wet with morning dew
Sunrise fading on my shoulders
Every breath feels strange and new
The road rolls out beneath the sky
But the map is in my heart
I carry wonder in my pocket
As I take that first step out
Unfamiliar roads, calling me on
Every mile a question, every shadow long
I walk with the memory of sunlight on my skin
Unfamiliar roads, not sure where I begin
But I keep moving forward, hope in my bones
Unfamiliar roads, but I walk them alone
Unfamiliar roads, but I walk them alone
The road unspools through shadows and light
Whispers of the garden still in the breeze
Every step a quiet question
Memories like fallen leaves
The path winds on, uncharted and wide
But I hold the dawn inside my chest
With every mile, a little braver
Learning to leave, learning to rest
Sometimes the wind sounds like a memory
Calling me back to where I began
But every echo in the distance
Reminds me I’m more than where I stand
If I falter, if I wander
Still I carry morning’s light
A quiet promise in the shadows
Guiding me through the night
Unfamiliar roads, calling me on
Every mile a question, every shadow long
I walk with the memory of sunlight on my skin
Unfamiliar roads, not sure where I begin
But I keep moving forward, hope in my bones
Unfamiliar roads, but I walk them alone
Unfamiliar roads, but I walk them alone
Maybe somewhere down these winding lines
I’ll find the echo of a promised sign
With every step, the garden’s song remains
A quiet comfort in the growing rain
So I’ll follow where the silence goes
Trusting wonder on unfamiliar roads
Trusting wonder on unfamiliar roads
