lyrics

I reached out to touch the darkest seas.
Just like everyone who wants to be free.
Friend, the open water brings a chill.
I'm better off on land, where it's still.

I set out to climb the tallest peak
Just to try to be as strong as I could be.
When I set stance alone at the top of the world, a sparrow brought me back down to my feet.

Well nothing is ever set in stone
thats why I roam, I roam, I roam.
Here and far and to every reaching star, but there sure is no place like home.

My voice did echo through the trees.
Every note was carried by the breeze.
The pines sighed with wisping, waving arms.
That little river carried me home.

I've grown too tired now for a thrill.
So I let my roots grow far under the hill
The rains fall through the night
I sure won't beg the gods to see sunlight.

Well nothing is ever set in stone
thats why I roam, I roam, I roam.
Here and far and to every reaching star but, there sure is no place like home.

Anchored by Bigley’s writing, the band marches onward. ... more
