Lyrics

I was a young seed traveling on a westbound breeze
And I knew that my life would bloom so elegantly.
For I heard a message on the wind that I was born to be free

I drift into Tulsa for a brief stay in the Guthrie Green
and I danced awhile with some folks who sang just like me
but that westbound wind came back again, I hit the road to catch a dream

Chorus
All this great big space and the sun on my face
how can I choose just one home
All the colors so wild leave this soul beguiled
Tumbleweeds dancing free along the road
No roots for me. No roots for me.

I hitched a ride on the wing of a cactus wren
Soaring high above the red, red rolling canyon
But the desert heat made my petals weep and I was off again

I chased a rainbow to the sea 'neath Canadian stars
Found a forest for rent in a painting by Emily Carr
And the leaves blew high as I waved goodbye, strumming the strings my guitar

Chorus

Life is never truly lonely
Friends are found among the miles and miles
I carry my home inside of me
Blooming free near mountains streams and distant isles.

Chorus
