Alberta
Journey Home: Unveiling the Heartfelt Odyssey of 'Alberta' by Taylor Adams
Lyrics
I guess it started in Alberta on the road
The journey or story began in Alberta on a road.
Lost in the wind among those mountains capped with snow
Lost in the wind among snow-capped mountains.
High in the trails beyond the veils of brush and trees
High in the trails beyond the veils of brush and trees.
You'll hear it in the distance if you listen to the breeze
You can hear something in the distance if you listen to the breeze.
Or when I left my heart and soul in Toronto
Left heart and soul in Toronto.
Drove up the 401 to this place I called home
Traveled on the 401 to a place called home.
After that sickness had consumed the last of me
After overcoming sickness, leaving a hidden part of oneself.
Leaving this shell to fill that some will never get to see
Leaving a hidden part that some may never see.
I'm going back to Alberta
Expresses a desire to return to Alberta.
I'm going back to the cold
Expresses a willingness to face the cold of Alberta.
I wanna find that special place
Expresses a desire to find a special place.
Where I won't waste this time away
Expresses a commitment not to waste time.
I'm going back down that road
Reiterates the intention to go back down the road to Alberta.
Those few short days spent in New York on that class trip
Recalls a class trip to New York and the brevity of those days.
Frostbitten fingers warmed by hands that shared my grip
Describes warmth in frostbitten fingers shared with others.
On Seventh Avenue the chaos can't compare
Contrasts the chaos of Seventh Avenue in New York with subsequent life experiences.
To all that I have since been through and swept up in the air
Alludes to enduring challenges and being swept up in the air of life.
I'm going back to Alberta
Reiterates the desire to return to Alberta.
I'm going back to the cold
Reiterates the willingness to face the cold of Alberta.
I wanna find that special place
Reiterates the desire to find a special place.
Where I won't waste this time away
Reiterates the commitment not to waste time.
I'm going back down that road
Reiterates the intention to go back down the road to Alberta.
I'm going back down that road
