Songs the Night Sings

I used to wish and wonder every day Close my eyes and see where it would take me I'd get lost in my dreams when I was a girl, was a child Restless heart and mind still open wide Running careless under clear and blue skies Even then, I did know that one day I would Walk away from the ones who'd enslave me Every pain, every soul who would stain me Leave behind little town where I once swore, "I will never die here" Through the forest of green, I will wonder Underneath starry skies, I will slumber I will climb every hill, every mountain 'til I've seen them all I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings And now that I've seen just a little, not a lot But I know who I am and who I am not I could weep for the ones who stumble through life like they're lost Heedless hearts, and eyes that must be blind Living joyless under pale and grey skies I just want them to know that right now they could Board the ship, hoist the sail, weigh the anchor Set a course right towards the horizon We can sail every sea, every ocean 'til we've seen them all I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings I wanna live the stories I write See the whole world with my own eyes Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings I wanna feel the flame when it burns Wanna feel the pain when it hurts Take the unknown trail, and hear the songs the night sings
