Travelosophic

If you hear in the roars of a river,
A calling, as you do in the silence of jungle,
If you feel majestic and not just awe
To stand on a mountain, both proud and humble…

If you wish to breakaway, but haven't been able to yet
Or if you already are a wanderer who wonders,
If you're the kind to feel excitement and not fear
When you see lightening and hear loud thunders…

If you've fought to keep the spark alive,
If you're not the one who waits to die,
To escape all misery and reach heaven
As you know, the Earth is where peace and joy lie...

If you have the wings but feel tied to the ground,
If you're free in spirit but still somehow feel chained
And having earned success and all things good
You still feel there's something left to be gained…

If you've ever turned to Nature,
For rapture, adventure or reasons philosophic,
Or to get away from, if not to get to somewhere,
It's time to revive the quest, it's time to go Travelosophic.
