(Inspired by the novel “In a Strange Room” by South African writer Damon Galgut)
Woken up by a Sunday bell I’m checking out of a cheap hotel I’m setting off for another place again Which hemisphere I can’t decide But I keep on walking day and night To the mysteries of a brand new day
If you try it once, you will never rest You’ll be flying south, you’ll be walking west Humming quietly on your way…
Chorus:
I’m back on the road I’m back on the road I’ve gotta cherish my way all along My day is unknown My place is unknown I’m gonna check them when I’m finally home
The Grand Canyon or the Stonehenge Marble Caves and the Bronze Bench A traveller is never satisfied I’ll pick a stone at the abandoned place I’ll film the way a stranger prays I’ll learn the language of a tribe
But every night when I lie in bed I’ll dream about my distant land I’ll miss my sisters all the time
