Journey
Abenaa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I know that it's the journey, not the destination
It becomes more clear with every view
That it's not the finish line, but the path we've taken
Finally I cease to wonder why we're here
And along this journey
Through some circumstance or common tie
If by chance we came to meet along this ride
It's no accident we've touched each other's lives

(Chorus)
While we are here
Scratching dirt for solid ground
Search until you think you've found some security
But look around, once again it's only me...
Only me...

(Verse 2)
I've been told the road I travel may be wide or narrow
But I'll never know less I up and go
Whether strong or weak inside, take the journey in stride
One step at a time...

(Chorus)
While we are here
Scratching dirt for solid ground
Search until we think we've found some security
But look around, once again it's only me...
Only me...

(Break)

Ah...
Hmm...

(Bridge)
Through some circumstance, along this ride
It's no accident we've touched each other's lives
So finally I cease to wonder why

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah...

(Chorus/Ad Lib) x 4
While we are here
Scratching dirt for solid ground
Search until you think you've found some security
But look around, once again it's only me

While we are here

Hmm...yeah, yeah, yeah...
Look around...
