[MOTHER]
Goodbye, my love
God bless you
And I suppose
Bless America too
You have places to discover
Oceans to conquer
You need to know
I'll be there at the window
While you go your way
I accept that

But what of the people
Who stay where they're put?
Planted like flowers
With roots underfoot
I know some of those people
Have hearts that would rather
Go journeying on the sea

Tell me what of the people
Whose boundaries chafe?
Who marry so bravely
And end up so safe?
Tell me how to be someone
Whose heart can explore
While still staying here
Let this be the year
We both travel
Goodbye, my love
God bless you
Somehow I know
I'll be journeying too
Journey on
