Voyager
Pendragon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long winding road where will you lead me?
As far west as man can go before he starts heading east
San Francisco, but where from there?
Out on the ocean where the dreamers go
Where the moonlight dolphins play
'Cause I know where my spirit's free
I know where my destiny takes me
I know where my spirit's free
Into the heart of America
Into the arms of a new world
Into the heart of a new world dream, and free

And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go
And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go
And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go

For those who seek shall be those who find
To push back the boundaries forever for mankind
The boy who made his mark in the world today
So spread your wings and fly away
Copper green Victorian looking out to sea
The first footsteps in India is where my ship takes me
I'm a wandering stranger just trying to find some answers for me
I know where my spirit's free
Into the heart of America
Into the arms of a new world
Into the heart of a new world dream, and free





I put my hand to my head and I look to the sea and think
Thursday's child has got a long long way to go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pendragon's song "Voyager" speak to the idea of adventure and the quest for freedom. The journey is described as a "long winding road" that could lead in any direction. The singer references San Francisco as a possible destination, but is ultimately seeking something beyond that - "out on the ocean where the dreamers go." The sense of freedom and possibility is heightened by the mention of moonlight dolphins playing in the water.


The chorus repeats the idea that "Thursday's child" (often associated with traits like optimism and risk-taking) has a long journey ahead. But the song also suggests that those who keep searching will eventually find what they're looking for - "for those who seek shall be those who find." The final verse describes the singer as a "wandering stranger" in search of answers, but confident in the knowledge that their spirit is free.

Long winding road where will you lead me?
Longue route sinueuse où allez-vous me conduire?
As far west as man can go before he starts heading east
Ouest aussi loin que l'homme peut aller avant qu'il ne commence vers l'est
San Francisco, but where from there?
San Francisco, mais à partir de là où?
Out on the ocean where the dreamers go
Sur l'océan, où les rêveurs aller
Where the moonlight dolphins play
Où les dauphins jouent au clair de lune
'cos I know where my spirit's free
'Cos je sais où mon esprit est libre
I know where my destiny takes me
Je sais où mon destin me mène
I know where my spirit's free
Je sais où mon esprit est libre
Into the heart of America
Dans le cœur de l'Amérique
Into the arms of a new world
Dans les bras d'un nouveau monde
Into the heart of a new world dream, and free
Dans le coeur d'un rêve nouveau monde, et sans

And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go
Et l'enfant de jeudi a eu un long chemin à parcourir

Et l'enfant de jeudi a eu un long chemin à parcourir
And Thursday's child has got a long, long way to go

So spread your wings and fly away
Donc déployer vos ailes et envolez-vous

Cuivre vert victorienne donnant sur la mer.

Les premiers pas en Inde est l'endroit où mon bateau me prend
