I used to wish and wonder everyday

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

Till 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

Till 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 sing
