The Travelling Musician
If my heart is broken in two
Which one should I follow?
Should I follow the one that’s wanting to stay?
Or the one that wants to be free?
Some wish they could have two hearts
While I wish I just have a whole
One that’s mended and not apart
Whose beat I am able to control
It gets tiring explaining why I wanna be free
When all I ever wanted is to share the world my melody
And tell stories through the chords of my guitar
Strumming the strings at night, looking at the stars
Sitting at the back of the wagon, wondering
where will this road leads me to
As I feel the wind blowing
Thinking how far can I go?
Though half of my heart is chained to the memories we’ve shared
yearning for your sweetness, knowing that you cared
But the other half is stubborn and wild
Wanting to explore the world, refusing to be exiled
It pained me to see your tears falling
Wanting to hold me back, but still you keep smiling
As I start my journey and turned my back away
I utter a word, to the heavens I pray
I pray that our path will cross again
And my music will ease away your pain
And when that day comes I hope you have forgiven me
For putting you in such a misery
You are a princess
and to your people you belong
But I am a travelling musician
and I dream to share the world my song
