Well I went to the park one night
When this old man came sitting next to me
He told me that I’m living wrong
That I should go and set myself free
And he said:
You gotta leave your past behind
When you’re living on the road, that’s when you will find yourself and
When you’re sleeping on the benches in the frost
you’ll find not all those who wander are lost
So I went home to pack my bag
And headed south to see who I’d become
Travelling light, I hit the road
And crossed the country, sticking out my thumb
Don't know where I’m going
Don’t know where I’ll end up next
I ain’t got no tickets
Hoping no one here will check
Cus this life is a blur
And I’m the passenger
Travelling on my own
Just tryin' to find my way back home
Well if there’s one thing that I learnt out here
When you’re alone and feel you’re on the brink
Talk to any stranger
You’ll find people are much nicer than you think
Living with my thoughts and
Finding who I want to be
When I’m feeling lost I
Think of that man’s legacy
And he said:
You gotta leave your past behind
When you’re living on the road, that’s when you will find yourself and
When you’re sleeping on the benches in the frost
you’ll find not all those who wander are lost
Cus this life is a blur
And I’m the passenger
Travelling on my own
Just tryin' to find my way back home
