Songs The Night Sings

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 sings.
