Lyrics

Journey

Neil Finn I waited for you
outside your changing room
I said I've got a song I wrote for you
and I want you to hear it
you said that I would find a way
well here it is

thank you for the words and tempting tears
that indirectly make it clear
pure thoughts from a distant source
you use your voice to bring us near
well I thank god this gift can't be consumed
we pass it round till it fills the room
every thought will make a spark
and there will be a fire soon
your mind is open you can not lose
going for a walk without your shoes
treasures always love to be found
when your feet can feel the ground

oh the journey
it never ends and you can't escape
every direction
has a price you have to pay

open up the doors and open up the windows
let the air breathe through this house of mine
the dust has settled long enough I feel
some of these things were meant to shine

every time you think you have to do something
something makes it hard to do
it doesn't matter which direction
when you think you have to choose
you spend so much time trying to fill it up
forget the satisfaction of an empty cup
it doesn't matter where you are
when you can see you've come so far
