lyrics

It started with the rumour of a new life
I quit my job and packed up for the long ride
Aware that I was leaving all security
To wander in the wilderness and dare to dream
Burning every bridge that was behind of me, oh well

I came here with no papers like a dropout
A pilgrimage, a voyage on the Mayflower
Determined not to miss an opportunity
To clutch at every straw I saw in front of me
And claim I was the ruler of my destiny, oh well
It’s no surprise I finally fell

Many more have travelled on this high wire
Told the best then sold into the worst crimes
And though I was attracted by the thrill of it
It’s not as if I bought into a counterfeit
The only person beckoning towards the pit was me

Some have been distracted by the sidelines
Torn between adventure and the old times
But let me take a moment to explain my pose;
I’d rather lose it all than bear the heavy load
Of never setting foot out of my home 'til I grow old
That's why I set out on this road

I will find my way through
Somehow I always do

It started with the rumour of a new life
To climb aboard and vanish from the shoreline
We haven’t got an anchor or a flag to fly, oh well
