I went into the wilderness because I couldn’t stay I did not choose the leaving, it was already decided I tried to take in everything before it slipped away But meaning came too slowly, and never when I asked He walks… he walks… he does not remain Sometimes it felt like the world was reaching out And sometimes like it had already turned away Still I kept moving forward through it all As if something in me refused to stay behind The wild did not repair what I carried within It only made it clearer, and harder to deny There is something unresolved that follows me still A quiet, constant urging I cannot set aside Go on… go on… there is no return I went farther than I ever meant to go Past the point where turning back made sense And when I stood before the open shore I did not feel complete, only continued I have been moving for so long now If I only had one more night to live I would not lay this burden down I would carry it through the end One more… one more… Every step becomes an answer Even when I don’t understand There is still a path before me One more voyage to go [piano and strings only] I have let go of too much to return unchanged Even the parts I thought would remain I no longer ask where this will end Only if I will reach it Dead to the world Alive for the journey Alive… alive… for the journey I have been moving for so long now (ah-ah-ah) If I only had one more night to live (ah-ah-ah) I would not turn away from this I would see it through Go on… go on… Every step becomes an answer Even when I don’t understand There is still a path before me One more voyage I have been moving for so long now (ah-ah-ah) If I only had one more night to live (ah-ah-ah) Would it change the course I follow Or only make it known That I was always moving forward Even when I stood still There is still a path before me One more voyage to go
