Henry
Journey of Wisdom: Embracing Life's Endless Road
Lyrics
He told me a story about a
He shared a narrative with me
Long long way to go
Describing a significant journey ahead
It was an endless conversation when
An extensive conversation unfolded
All I said was hello
I greeted him with a simple hello
But all through the night he spoke
Throughout the night, he continuously spoke
To me expounding his philosophy
Elaborating on his personal philosophy
He said the only truth is
He asserted that the only truth lies in a traveling song
In a travelling song
The essence is captured in songs while on the move
One for the road to tap your foot along
A song for the journey, a rhythmic companion
He said we have a long long
Highlighting the extensive journey ahead
Way to go so it's good, feels so good
Expressing the joy and satisfaction in the journey
When you sing sing a song
Encouraging the act of singing a song
Cause travelling along just a-singing
Emphasizing that singing while traveling is delightful
A song is a mighty fine way to go
Singing a song is a wonderful way to progress
A mighty fine way to get you to the next town
It's an excellent means to reach the next destination
Travelling along just a-singing a song is
Reiterating the positive impact of singing while traveling
A mighty fine way to go
Emphasizing again the joy of progressing through song
And when the tale was over and
After the story, I felt intimately acquainted with him
I knew him like a friend
I asked for the story to be retold
I asked him if he had the time
Inquiring about the time for a repetition
I'd like to hear it all over again
He turned away without a response
But he turned away and without a word
Commenced walking silently down the road
Started walking down the road
Engaged in laughter, song, and self-talk
Laughing, singing, talking to himself
When I looked back, he had already departed
And when I looked again he was already gone
He was gone, leaving behind memories of his presence
