The world offers so many charts
Then why do we stay in the same old parts?
We settle on one small little spot
But to look on the whole thing is what we forgot
Everyday life is dreary and grey.
If your hearts not going the right way
Mine buzzes through the world to roam
While Life’s what keeps me at home
Friends, family, missing money and school
The things that keep me here, like a rule
My home just doesn’t feel like one
But where then do I belong
I think permanent change is what I strive
Spatially and in my way of life
The world offers unlimited potential
Why don’t we use it consequential
Luckily there’re holidays to tear up the miles
In order not to freeze in one place like ice
See new people, places and folkways
Understanding the world in some new ways
Liveliness and self-discovery
Travelling provides it for me
Spread your wings and take the chance
Break out of everyday life and glance
If your able to
And fate grants it to you
Fly through the world, free as a bird
Just as you please, not as you learned
Some lack the means to travel, thinking of those
But travelling can be done also by sous
By daring to make a change
And always maintain being hopeful and brave
