When I was young
There were many things
They tried to teach me
Son, you must be grounded
Find some strong stability
(...) and secure to live long and endure
Don't seek out chance or circumstance
And never try if you're not sure
There was a harmony I heard when I shut my eyes
Like advice from some strange voice
I seem to recognize
Build dreams are chased behind their shadows in your mind
You can choose to (keep or lose?)
(Take what you get to see to find?) then.
Live like a traveler only passing through
Don't let your baggage weight you down
Do all you need to do
Faith and friends and freedom
They will always be with you
If you live like a traveler, only passing through
Looked out from the windows
My school and parents' home
There were so much new to learn
I gotta need to roam
Wasn't long before I unlocked the old back door
And I was roaming in the world to learn and to explore
And I live like a traveler only passing through
Don't let your baggage weight you down
Do all you need to do
Faith and friends and freedom
They will always be with you
If you live like a traveler, only passing through
I look back and all honesty
My parents were all wrong
It's important to know who you are
And where you best belong
(Rude stone growing boxes dreams with the wide of range?)
Cash in the bank can't buy success
If you're afraid to change
And that all word stability must mean something else to me
Cause I feel it under (pouring step)
I take when I'm free
And I live like a traveler, only passing through
Don't let your baggage weight you down
Do all you need to do
Faith and friends and freedom
They will always be with you
If you live like a traveler, only passing through
Lagu ini bercerita dan mengajarkan kita banyak hal. Kalau di pecah-pecah, bisa jadi seperti kumpulan kata mutiara.
Ketika kita muda, orang tua atau lingkungan mengajarkan kita untuk melihat hidup dari satu jendela tertentu. Dan tak seharusnya kita seperti itu.
live like a traveler. Bahkan hanya lirik berikut, kita dibawa untuk berpikir jauh sekali. Layaknya pengembara, dari barang bawaan, metode hidup mereka serta - traveler - mereka travel, untuk menuju sesuatu, mereka memiliki goal.
Seorang traveler, bisa beristirahat, namun tempat yang mereka jadikan tempat istirahat akan selalu menjadi tempat singgah. Bukan rumah, karena mereka tak akan pernah menjadikan tempat singgah sebagai rumah. Rumah yang mereka tuju, masih - long way to go
Demikian halnya dengan orang-orang yang mereka temui selama perjalanan, - they will not be too attached with people they meet during travel
Namun, jika beruntung, mereka bisa bertemu orang-orang yang juga ingin melakukan perjalanan seperti mereka. Dan jadilah orang-orang tersebut, teman perjalanan - those can your best friends, your spouses, and many other people who will consult with (truthfully, honestly, patiently) them during traveling
live like a traveler, only passing through
until next time :)
