Lyrics

The path I chose wasn’t steady
Or certain to have an end
I stepped on it, not quite ready
For the time I was going to spend

Searching for a life
Searching for a me
Searching for a way to be free
Searching for a home
Searching for my range
Searching for a journey
Searching for a change

I don’t even know why this path’s so hard
But I will take it far
To the land of happiness and peace
Where I can see the stars

And if the wind starts blowing then I’ll
Just, keep going, til I
Reach the top of the world
And I just can’t
Stop this journey ‘cause I
Got this yearning
And I’ll reach the top of the world
And I just can’t stop

Even if the path I follow ends with me being lost,
Even if there’s no such thing as paradise, or it's not what I thought I want
No, I can’t give up, no, I can’t give in, ‘cause I’ve come too far now to turn around
I'll just take a breath and continue walking
Walking down this uncertain path

‘Till I reach the morning light
Don’t you ever tell me otherwise
I have to keep going on this journey today

And if the wind starts blowing then I’ll
Just, keep going, til I
Reach the top of the world
And I just can’t
Stop this journey ‘cause I
Got this yearning
And I’ll reach the top of the world
The world
