Traveler’s Prayer

Lyrics
Here I am walking, far from familiar streets Looking for someone who might resemble me Whispering something, sounds like a traveler's prayer Saying luck play your hand, I am a stranger here Time be a friend, show me which way to steer Love show your face, with the grace of a traveler's prayer Maybe it's tucked in a journal you've carried for years Engraved on a compass or long disappeared The one in my head's always ready when I need a spare Reciting the words as I'm yearning for home When daylight has left me by the side of the road Nobody's hurting and nobody's cold anywhere In a traveler's prayer I'm scanning the skies for signs that we're not alone Signals and messages bound for the twilight zone Maybe they're wondering who keeps on waiting down there We're just the pale blue dot, a speck in an ink-black sky Do we see with our hearts instead of our jaded eyes Imagine the world on a string and sing a traveler's prayer What if I heard my name called by a voice that I know From a memory summoned from so long ago? I keep feeling the lately departed are everywhere Now the days race like swifts in the violet hour Veering and steering higher and and farther Oh, to be finally delivered on a warm gust of air It's a traveler's prayer Reciting the words as we're yearning for home When darkness has found us at the end of the road Nobody's hurting and nobody's cold anywhere In a traveler's prayer
