Journeyman

Journeyman
Words/Music by Christopher Ames

The road goes ever onward
As it leads away from here
Once I set out on this journey
Will it all then be made clear?

Will the miles lead me home
To this unseen Glory Land
Is the learning in the walking?
Am I a Journeyman?

The road goes ever onward
It never tells me where
With all the twisting and the winding
If I knew, would I dare

To take this adventure that’s been sent me
In each battle would I stand?
I wonder to my core
Who can be this Journeyman?

The road goes ever onward
It never stops to rest
Will it lead to fame and fortune
Or in the journey am I blessed?

Will the miles wear me down?
Will I hold the unseen hand?
I know I cannot stop walking
For I am a Journeyman

The road goes ever onward
Turning back not now a choice
I have seen the unseen road
And heard the silent voice

Though the miles make or break me
I’ll go on as best I can
The destination now is calling
Calling me a Journeyman
