A million miles an hour
A million flames of fire
The heat will warm your skin
The heat will raise you higher

Stretch with me
Across the sky
Stretch arms wide
Across the ocean
Embrace the land
Embrace the mountains
Embrace the shores and sand

Tell me stories
In noble voice
Whisper winds with whisper songs
Your delicate mind
Release delicate thought
Dust the embers from glowing rock

Feed the water
Ocean's deep
The ocean's flow from gray sky weep
The heaving chest of mother earth
The beating breast of mankind keep
Pillar stone lifts thoughts to sky
Lifts hope from sorrow
From twilight's pyre

He'd never been on the road
He'd never been to the city
Now he's on his way
He leaves today
The cautious man is ready

Don't go in the water
Don't go into space
Settle down and stay around
And keep a steady pace

A determined man
A determined land
The wandering man
The wandering land

His shoes had worn a path
Through dusty fields and ash
His thoughts were miles ahead

No wheels to turn
No bridges burned
Just footprints in his stead

A determined man
A determined land
The wandering man
The wandering land

Don't go in the water
Don't go into space

Buildings draw horizons
Draw lines upon his face
New feelings now arising
Almost in his place

Almost in a new land
A place no longer dream
No mountains left to conquer
Nothing in between

A determined man
A determined land
The wandering man
The wandering land

Streetlight bugs like snow
Savoring the glow
Summer warming the wind

Calm is the night
Willing darkness toward light
Forward to morning begin

Tonight of all nights
Unlike before
The last of perpetual cycle

Gulls overhead
Hear final word said
A man gone too long from sea

The river flows quiet
The moon falling silent
The arms of the delta stretch wide

Creaking of oars
Leave echos on shore
As land gives way to water
