The Man Who Travels

You cannot be free unless you are completely yourself

The Traveling Man travels

Through the vast land of Shadows

Accompanied by his own

And some clothes in a satchel

Migrating from place to place

Never staying long

He'd rather roam all day 'n night

Playing his favorite songs

He's a dreamer, a believer

And travels all alone

Wherever he lays his head to rest

Is where he calls his home

He belongs everywhere and nowhere, in case that isn't clear

People always love him, but he always disappears

The traveler is a slippery one

But if you ever meet him

Buy the man a drink

And ask about his freedom.
