Went for a walk in the world today Looking for a song To help me move along... talk but nothing good to say when all we see is wrong Makes it hard to carry on... So look up now, Don't Worry Fear not the Night Look up now , don't worry You'll be alright ... Went for a walk in the world today Looking for higher ground Coz I was feeling down ... So I climbed a mountain all the way and a good friend there I found This is how that sounds... OOO's Went for a walk in the world today looking for a reason why now all I see is sky ...

A Melody lingers in my ear tonite a lyric ringing loud and clear leads me to the light it’s the sound of a young heart breaking behind a mind that’s wound too tight under skin so hot, it’s ready to ignite I turn the radio on and i let the DJ drive when you’re on the Road to Nowhere it’s hard to stay between the lines and i see my own Star falling into the Tick and Tock of Time looking for a friend i Left behind and it Goes On and On and On... but u won’t know what you’re missing til it’s gone It goes On and On and On... but there ain’t Nobody listening to The Singer who Lost his Song Found a Penny in my pocket and it asked me for some change The Sun came up this morning so i Know it’s bound to Rain there’s a broken record playing and i’m haunted by the sound it keeps my head spinning round and round and it Goes On and On and On... but u won’t know what you’re missing til it’s gone It goes On and On and On... but there ain’t Nobody listening to The Singer who Lost his Song A Melody lingers in my ear tonite a lyric ringing Loud and Clear Big and Strong and Bright It’s the sound of an Old Heart healing from a wound won in a fight because i know this time I’m gonna get it right yes i know this time i’m gonna get it right Because it Goes On and On and On...

I’m a Seafaring Man, I’m a rider on the storm the son of my father on the water i was born i work until dark and i rise at the dawn hauling the lines as i sing my song Out here in the weather i tend my nets but a fisherman’s life has few regrets In a hard days labour some hands get wet but it all works out when i land my catch You can sail across the water you can span the grand prairie looking for a free man will you remember me remember me ? A good woman waits for me back on the shore while i chase the fish off the Labrador she leaves a candle burning bright to bring me home safe through the night when the last trawl falls i’ll take my leave the stars in the sky are all i need just tow my boat to my family they’ll keep on living from the sea i’m free as a sail in the breeze with the wind in the waves to watch over me You can sail across the water you can span the grand prairie looking for a free man will you remember me remember me ?
