I woke before the sun was rising, with the road waiting beneath my feet. There was dust upon the window, and the morning air was sweet. Far beyond the sleeping villages, I could see the mountains glow. Every mile was bringing me closer to a place I did not know. And the wind kept calling softly, like a voice I'd heard before. There was something in the distance I was searching for. Take me where the red earth meets the sky, where the long roads disappear into the light. Let me follow where the wild winds blow, to the place that waits beyond the night. I don't know what I will find there, I don't know what waits for me. But I'll follow that horizon where the red earth meets the sky. We were crossing rivers slowly, as the afternoon grew warm. There were birds above the water, and the clouds began to form. Then the rain came down around us, washing red dust from the road. And the world became a mirror as the distant thunder rolled. When the storm was moving eastward, and the evening turned to gold, I could feel the road beneath me leading somewhere I had to go. Take me where the red earth meets the sky, where the long roads disappear into the light. Let me follow where the wild winds blow, to the place that waits beyond the night. I don't know what I will find there, I don't know what waits for me. But I'll follow that horizon where the red earth meets the sky. Maybe home is not a doorway, maybe home is not a name. Maybe it is just a feeling when you know you have to change. And if I have to leave tomorrow, I will leave without regret. For this road has taught me something I will never quite forget. Take me where the red earth meets the sky, where the long roads disappear into the light. Let me follow where the wild winds blow, to the place that waits beyond the night. I don't know what I will find there, I don't know what waits for me. But I'll follow that horizon where the red earth meets the sky. Where the red earth meets the sky, where the last red shadows lie, I will follow, I will go, to the place I need to know.
