Journey Of The Magi |
Moses was old, a chill in his bones. |
Falling apart, he knew in his heart that his time had come. |
As he lay in his tent in the hot desert sands, |
he smiled at how he would never see his promised land. |
He sang «I could have lived and died an Egyptian prince, |
I could have played safe, |
but in the end the journey’s brought joys that outweigh the pain.» |
Odysseus sat tired and alone. |
He’d always held out against all the doubts that he would come home. |
But now he was here, his soul felt estranged. |
His wife and his dog, his son and his Gods, everything changed. |
He sang «I could have stayed and ruled as an Ithican prince, |
I could’ve played safe. |
But in the end the journey’s brought joys that outweigh the pain.» |
Balthazar rode for seven long years, eastwards and far, |
he followed his star, and it brought him here. |
To a stable in ruins in some backwater town, |
to a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown. |
He sang «I could have lived with my Gods as a Persian prince, |
I could’ve played safe, |
but in the end the journey’s brought joys that outweigh the pain.» |
Paupers and kings, princes and thieves, |
singers of songs, righters of wrongs, be what you believe. |
So saddle your horse and shoulder your load, |
burst at the seams, be what you dream, and take to the road. |
