THE JOURNEY


This is the song Ben dedicated to me. It had nothing to do with the words. He knows I love the song and as has been said before, I was there in the olden days when he wrote it. Wow, the song is actually pretty old. I guess all the good songs hold up well over time. I still remember the days when Ben was a kick-butt drummer and couldn't play any guitar. He's learned a little since then. ;-)

THE JOURNEY
------------ lyrics/music: Benjamin Payne

As I look up at the stars they're like a string of pearls
Stretchin 'cross the sea
And as the rain gently kisses my lips, she says it's alright... it's alright
And as the rain gently kisses my lips, she says it's alright... it's alright

Now half the day was spent
Preparing for a journey
A journey I was not sure I could make
And as my thoughts wore on
Dancing in the moonlight
I pondered about my fate

Hey-ya' hey-ya' hey-ya'

Never did I dream
That soon I would be leaving
The safety of my home
But dreams are funny things
They often betray you
And turn you 'round till it's to late

Hey-ya' hey-ya' hey-ya'

The journey's long
Don't know where I'll be taken
But I must be strong
Because, you see
This journey's mine to face
Mine to face alone

Hey-ya' hey-ya' hey-ya'
