Wanderers

Music: Viktor Jonas | lyrics: Andy Walmsley

We are the wanderers, we are the lost
We are the weak and weary, weather-worn and tempest-tossed

We are all searching, searching for meaning, searching for purpose in this life
Searching for something, we can believe in, somewhere that we can belong

But the higher that we climb, the further we must fall again in time
And the longer that we strive, the harder we must struggle to survive
To keep our heads above the water, and hold our own against the tide
But every day the pull grows stronger, and we grow a little weaker inside

This is the ebb and the flow of our days, always unchanging but never the same
This is the rise and the fall of our lives, this is the pattern, the endless design
This is how our days pass by

We are all searching, searching for meaning, searching for purpose in this life Searching for something, we can believe in, somewhere to belong

Life is just a wave, in temporary motion, searching for the shore
Until it breaks, and rejoins the ocean, returning to the source

We all go back, from whence we came
Becoming one with the ocean once again
We all return, to where we all began
And only then do we begin to understand

That there is no other way, the current is too strong
It always takes us back to where we truly belong

We knew this from the very start
Somehow we’ve known it all along

There is such solace and such peace
In the moment of acceptance

That nothing lasts forever
But nothing ever truly ends
Nothing is forgotten
No-one is ever truly gone

Because life is just a wave, in temporary motion, searching for the shore
Until it breaks, and rejoins the ocean, returning to the source
