Lyrics

see how a wandering man crosses the open plain, sure foot, inclusive he divines, you know it's not in vain, that he travels, footprints left in the earth, show how far he's come, a long way from a baby he was born, into this great unknown, that he travels, deep down in the diamond mines, he could fall and cut his skin, fooled by a trick of the light, the way that he came in, there's a land beneath the moon, after his damp and cold, a place where everything's been said, but nothing has been told, back the shadows, he could lift his head and turn to the sun, to bury that borderline, freedom is only as good as you feel, so grasp and hold this moment in time, lives on an ancient ground for his company, casting out the shadows of doubt, wherever he may be, soldier of the peaceful way, fighting from dusk 'til dawn, everything's been ripped apart, but nothing has been torn, except the shadows, he could lift his head and turn to the sun, to bury that borderline, freedom is only as good as you feel, so grasp and hold this moment in time, could i be a wandering man, making my way to you, you're on my mind all of the time, in everything i do, all great ventures ever made, needed a place to start, so every step i'm planning today, might take me to your heart, that it travels, so i lift my head and turn to the sun, and bury that borderline, freedom is only as good as you feel, so grasp and hold this moment in time, freedom is only as good as you feel, so grasp and hold this moment in time
