[Intro - Guitar + Shaker + Soft Hum] Ooh waye, ooh waye [Verse 1] I left my city with a heavy chest Mama said "son, go find your rest" One bag, one guitar, one photograph Learning how to lose to find what's left [Pre-Chorus] And the road keeps whispering low "Where you going, you don't need to know" [Chorus] Where the road forgets my name That's where I remember who I am Hand drum talking to my soul again No past, no plan Where the road forgets my name [Verse 2] I met an old man by the fire light He said "the world is small if your heart is wide" We shared bread, we shared no common tongue But his eyes said "brother, you've arrived" [Chorus - Bigger with harmonies] Where the road forgets my name That's where I remember who I am Hand drum talking to my soul again No past, no plan Where the road forgets my name [Bridge - Breakdown, almost spoken] Bare feet, earth beat Let the rhythm lead me Sunrise, new eyes Let the journey free me Nipo hapa, I am here Finally, I am here [Final Chorus - Soft, intimate] Where the road forgets my name That's where I found my home again Guitar hummin' like a second heart Oh mama, I'm not lost, I'm on my way [Outro - Guitar fade + hand drums] Ooh waye, ooh waye Keep the light on for me...
