about

Song six on our journey, this is harvest time and we reap the benefits of childhood and prepare to step into adulthood recognising we are a cog in the big wheel of life and all connected.

lyrics

The Wanderer

I met a man along the road; he said he was a wanderer.
He helped me with my heavy load and I told him of my life.
He was a kindly soul and offered words of wisdom,
But I couldn’t take it all, I thought, what could he know?
Then he looked into my eyes and I saw my world reflected.
Like an atom magnified, it was a part of the whole.

We are the embodiment of man, reach in if you can.
We have one life, one goal, one heart and one soul.
We are the embodiment of man, reach in if you can.

He said, “If you only see the skin you see the prisoner within,
“If you look into their eyes, you see their soul realised.
“If you look into their soul, you feel the love unfold.
“If you hold on to the love you set the prisoner free.”
Then he took a stick and drew a figure in the dusty road
And in my heart I knew it was a vision of his world.

We are the hands, the people who work and toil the land.
We are the head, the thinkers who help us understand.
We are the feet, the travellers that show us the way.
We are the heart, so let love have its say.

Who are you forsaking, when you try to stand alone?
Whose heart are you breaking? No one’s but your own.

We are the embodiment of man, reach in if you can.
We have one life, one goal, one heart and one soul.
We are the embodiment of man, reach in if you can.
We have one life, one goal, one heart and one soul.
We are the embodiment of man, reach in if you can.
