Lyrics
The Journeyman
By Muriel Anderson
If you were to be a journeyman
You'll find the journey never ends
It has its twists and bends
All roads lead
Somewhere that we can't see
Now that you've heard the owl call
And you understand him after all
Though subtle is his plea
That you should seek
Silently walking on your own
Till slowly you'll have grown
Throughout your journey you will find
What is the meaning to be kind
To bear the gentle soul
How dear the cost
For others turn to you in pain
And put on you the blame
But in their struggles you will be
A beacon of light for them to see
The world is still their home
Together, perhaps there's even hope
But for the journeyman to know
He goes his way alone
Now that you are a journeyman
You see your work will never end
And sometimes in your mind
You wonder why
Some reason we can't see
If you were to be a journeyman
You'll find your journey
Never ends
