Solar Fragment - Wanderlust lyrics

Have you ever seen forests and hills? A traveller once spoke And in his eyes, there was a glint Yet unknown feelings it evoked He told me tales of places and times Enchanted heart, a splinter in mind With every word and with every smile My past became a foolish waste of life A further day has been born in the night And with it comes the change My meditations enlightened my views I'm longing for those lands so strange Duty says: Attend to me! You have your task, you must not flee! But freedom cries: Let me out! So in the end I leave without a doubt Defying the dreams I have Into the light I go May fortune be my friend On this journey, miles and miles Where is my path? What lies beyond these mountains Framing my desire? Oh, I won't return Until foreign seems my homeland And I've found The end of wanderlust On the mantelpiece I left a note Waving my fellows goodbye They might even have liked to ensue But that's not the gist of why And so I write this book on my own Heading for the things yet to come Gentle breeze, I close my eyes I feel it now, my spirit starts to fly Defying the dreams I have... On this journey, miles and miles... And now I stand Among the oaks of ancient times And I begin to understand The light in his eyes On this journey, miles and miles...
