Oh, Weary Traveler

Oh, weary traveler, put down your sails

Come into this harbor – we’ve heard all your tales

Oh, weary traveler, come upon the shore

Forage in our trees until you want no more

No more

Oh, weary traveler, out at sea so long

Are you longing, longing to belong?

Oh, weary traveler, we’re all weary too

All coming home, and all missing you

Missing you

Oh, weary traveler, is your only rest

In a lonely mountain’s vulture-stalked nest?

Well, as a weary traveler I tried to make there a bed

But they feasted on my folded wings, taking me for dead

So now, weary traveler, I only lay my soul

At the heart of dear mates who are kin of ol’

Kin of ol’

Here, weary traveler, let’s touch with our hands

Breathe and sigh, “I understand”

For, weary traveler, I fly the flights

Out of my darkness and into my light

Into the light

Oh, weary traveler, leave if you choose

Go, fill your cups, I have mine too

And, weary traveler, if you choose to stay

Then, my friend, you may, you may, you may

You may

Please stay

Oh, weary traveler, put down your sails

Come into this harbor – we’ve lived all the tales

Oh, weary traveler, we navigate the flights

Into our darkness and into our light

Into our light

Into our light

Into our light
