I have wandered through the desert sands,
held the world within my hands,
sailed where moonlit waters gleam,
chased the dawn and every dream.
I’ve heard the songs of nightingales,
and breathed the scent of mountain vales,
I’ve touched the sky on silver wings,
and stood in courts of mighty kings.
I’ve danced where cherry blossoms fall,
and heard the ocean’s ancient call,
yet through it all, both near and far,
my heart sought out its guiding star.
I have wandered through a thousand lands,
felt golden suns and silver sands,
sailed on seas where whispers sing,
and bowed before both lord and king.
I’ve seen the mountains crowned in snow,
the valleys where wild rivers flow,
heard choirs rise in sacred halls,
and slept beneath the midnight falls.
But, sweetest heart, through all I’ve known,
my soul has never called one home.
Each jewel, each throne, each fleeting bliss
all faded for the thought of this:
Your tender smile, your gentle face,
a single touch, a soft embrace.
Your voice - more sweet than siren’s tune,
your light outshines the fairest moon.
For what are wonders, what are skies,
without the light of your bright eyes?
What worth are crowns, or gold, or fame,
when all I crave is just your name?
I long to trace your gentle cheek,
to hear you laugh, to watch you speak,
to feel your hand within my own,
and know I’ll never walk alone.
For though I’ve crossed the earth so wide,
and seen its beauty multiplied,
I’d trade it all, the grand, the true,
for one sweet day alone with you.
'Cause what good are wonders far and wide
if you are not there by my side?
What worth is gold, or crowns, or fame,
when all I ache for is your name?
For love, I’d cross the seas once more,
I’d face the storm, I’d fight the war.
The world could vanish, skies could fall,
if I have you, I have it all.
So, take this heart, it’s traveled far,
through every land, beneath each star,
and now it beats, steadfast and sure,
for you, my love, forevermore.
