lyrics

He looked to the skies and saw brightly coloured balloons drifting off into the distance
Each one the start of a journey, a shining soul striking out into the unknown
He too could have followed suit and taken flight with comrades
Following a path laid out by generations before him and generations to come
Yet here he stood
Eyes fixed on the rolling hills and reddening sky ahead
Prepared for an entirely different fate
Pack full and insides fluttering with anticipation
He strode forward and embraced his destiny
The mantle of drifter was his and his alone

The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth
When the path is clear and everything is clear
Then the others see clear to think it clear
But when the destination is unclear, then it becomes clear in itself
As is the reflection on the water
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth

Fractured mountains
Clear crystal of the water
Snow drifts curling from the edge of cliffs
All this was his domain, left to explore and to discover what was then unknown
So overwhelming it almost felt holy, like a pillar of light piercing a heavy sky
The course was set and was his alone to navigate

The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth
When the path is clear and everything is clear
Then the others see clear to think it clear
But when the destination is unclear, then it becomes clear in itself
As is the reflection on the water
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once and persist until you are fulfilled
For there will be your truth
The path is clear as in the reflection of the world on the water
So take to your path at once
