many years ive been away from home i have faced too many battles hours here upon the endless road have left me bruised and battered i have heard the secrets of the streets but i keep them to myself on display but here inside my soul like a trophy on the shelf hand upon my heart i know the moon will light my way oh my friend the winding road will the life of a journeyman never change round the corner down the narrow trail my boots are wearing thin i can feel the heat upon my back the sun against my skin far away i couldve sworn i heard the ringing of a bell through the miles you know its hard to tell when its you against yourself hand upon my heart i know the moon will light my way oh my friend the winding road will the life of a journeyman never change none of us will ever know what lies around the bend all the world becomes your home on the road that never ends hand upon my heart i know the moon will light my way oh my friend the winding road will the life of a journeyman never change
