THE JOURNEY
(Words and music by Elkin Thomas)

There's a road cut 'long a ridge of pines
Through a wall of limbs and wild growing vines
And the smell of the leaves by a stream unwinds
Somehow my soul senses The Journey's all the time
The Journey's all the time.

Chorus:
We may fly the isles and the oceans
We may paddle round the boundries of nations
Of all the time and space our lives have occupied
Right now's where we've come to be
The Journey's not what's going to be
The Journey's all the time
The Journey's all the time

There's a toddler born innocent and shy
Facing choices of how to live and die
There's an old saint rocking to the sweet bye and bye
Like an aged eagle perching, pondering the sky
Pondering the sky

Chourus

There's a circle of nature and rhyme
With a heartbeat synchronizing time
And the stroke of the Spirit's vindicating sign
Is the light of understanding flooding throught the mind
Flooding through the mind

Chorus

Words and music by Elkin Thomas, from the Album "The Journey", Shantih Records

Even though this one is copyrighted, Elkin puts the words to his songs in the liner notes. I thought right now seemed a good time to post this one. I have the tune, but I don't "know" it, so will try to get a tape to someone who can transcribe it. ^^
