I have traveled a long journey
Escaping many obstacles along the way
Bringing with me no food, clothing or money
Counting only the time I have left today.
I have traveled a long journey
Walking on a path I did not know
Begging for every penny
Because I just couldn’t let this hunger go.
I have traveled a long journey
One that lead in many
Those who seek truth and liberty
And lived to tell this story.
I have traveled a long journey
To cross over the river and stream
Where kind hearts have promised plenty
So that I could live to live this dream
I have traveled a long journey
To speak this language
Learn how to suppress tyranny
So that one day I could return to my village.
