Wayfarer
Tom Klose Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
much more than in all my days combined
and still I'm such a fool
one that's wasting all your time
So I'm going out
just to see what this world is all about
what it's all about
For I've seen my life in a dream
I was wandering with the wind
and I was free from my responsibility
from all the madness I got myself in
So I'm going out
just to see what this world is all about
and I'm going far
for I was born to be a wayfarer
See I've lived in here for so long
and now it's time to shed my skin
this whole world could be my home
and this dead end road is just where I begin
So I'm going out
just to see what this world is all about
and I'm going far
for I was born to be a wayfarer
yeah I was born to be a wayfarer
