Wanderlust Spirit

Oscar Auliq-Ice 1994 (Port Elizabeth)



Wanderlust spirit,
Chasing every setting sun,
You soar on winds of change,
Chasing freedom daily.
In the skies,
You find endless horizons,
Seeking stories untold and new scenes,
Onward, you journey.

Why not just
Anchor for a moment's respite?
Yet you fly, fly countless sights,
Endless sights.

Oh wanderlust spirit,
Wanderlust spirit,
Sometimes I wish you'd rest, find a place to sit,
Wanderlust spirit, oh,
Sometimes I wish you'd rest, find a home.

Wanderlust, where will you end?
Chasing dreams around every bend,
Did you realize some journeys are circles?
Returning to places once known,
You find solace in motion,
Yet sometimes, stillness holds the answer,
Why not pause, savor the present?
Discover the beauty, right here, so pleasant.

Oh wanderlust spirit,
Wanderlust spirit,
Sometimes I wish you'd rest, find a place to sit,
Wanderlust spirit, oh,
Sometimes I wish you'd rest, find a home.

Spirit, learn to find peace,
In every moment and every lease,
In every pause, find your song,
In every stillness, find where you belong.
Every journey has its end,
But the path's what matters, my friend,
Spirit, embrace the world's vastness,
But remember, sometimes, to find stillness.
