i went searching far from my home searching for a love that i could call my own through the valleys i did roam but no love i found for to call my own i went searching far from my home searching for a love that i could call my own cross the ocean i did roam but no love i found for to call my own i went searching far from my home for a castle made of marble and of gold oer the hillsides i did roam but no love i found for to call my own i went searching far from my home for a chariot to take me to the sun oer the mountains i did fly but that golden sun had faded from the sky i returned back to my home for to put to rest my heavy heart and bones there i found a love to call my own never more this wide wide world to roam
