[Intro] George, map in hand, I know where I’m bound G.O.E. is calling, I’m searching it out [Verse 1] I left with a compass and dust on my shoes A name on the page and a road left to choose Past the red hills where the old rivers bend I ask every traveler, “Where does it end?” A baker says north, an old sailor says east I trade him my last silver coin for a feast Then follow the stars till the morning comes through Each mile says the kingdom is waiting for you [Chorus] I’m looking for G.O.E., tell me where it lies A kingdom in the distance, a promise in my eyes I’ll cross every border, I’ll climb every stone G.O.E., I’m coming; I’m finding my home [Verse 2] Through markets alive with the clatter of trade I learn what a promise and patience are made A child draws a crown in the sand by the well Says, “Maybe the place is the people as well” I kept moving on, but I carried that thought The map isn’t everything, the road can be taught When strangers share water and walk by my side The kingdom grows closer with every stride [Chorus] I’m looking for G.O.E., tell me where it lies A kingdom in the distance, a promise in my eyes I’ll cross every border, I’ll climb every stone G.O.E., I’m coming; I’m finding my home [Bridge] If the gate is a doorway, I’ll open it wide If home is a people, I’ll stand by their side George with the map, but the truth coming clear: The kingdom I searched for was growing right here [Final Chorus] I found my G.O.E., hear the whole valley sing Not just walls and a crown, but the hope we can bring We crossed every border, we made this our own G.O.E., we’re together; we’ve found our home [Outro] George, map in hand, the road led me through G.O.E. was a kingdom we built with the crew
