Homeless Joe
Journey of Reflection: Echo Beach's 'Homeless Joe' Unveiled

I could leave today if I wanted to
The speaker has the option to leave at present.
Head back over the big wide blue and
They could return to a distant place (possibly where they started).
Head back home, familiar lands
Returning to a familiar and previously known location, possibly their origin.
I'd say goodbye I could and can
The ability to bid farewell is present and possible.
I'd say goodbye I could and can
Reiteration of the possibility to bid farewell.
Pack my things and head on out
Packing belongings to depart.
Homeward bound
Heading toward the direction of home.
No cries, no doubt
No emotional hesitation or uncertainty.
I'd be half way back
Approximately halfway through the journey, a realization occurs.
I realized
Understanding or acknowledging errors or regrets made.
I made mistakes this one's a prize
Specifically recognizing a significant mistake.
I've made mistakes this one's a prize
Repeating acknowledgment of making significant mistakes.
No swimming back now
No possibility of reversing or turning back.
Green is blue
An alteration of perception; the familiar (green) turns unfamiliar (blue).
Cause you're a sailor
Comparing the individual to a sailor, suggesting a journey or adventure.
A dream come true
Characterizing the individual's situation as a dream realized.
