Erin Elizabeth Barker - The Journey Back Lyrics

Looking back at where I've been
And this place it's put me in
I wonder how it got this way
And why on earth I'd want to stay
Anyway
Mistakes along the way I've made
Dreams that I allowed to fade
Choices I did not think through
All the things I thought I knew
Didn't you?
Now I embark the lonely track
Of the difficult journey back
To walk the long forgotten road
And smell the flowers I once sowed
The journey back, I'm going back again
To where I lost that inner friend
Trust her voice and feel her power
Blossom like a hidden flower
To feel the sun and the rain
To run and laugh and smile again
To splash in puddles on the way
And sing and dance and jump and play
The day away
Recall the girl I left behind
Search and seek until I find
The secret path I missed before
When I was too rushed to explore
There was so much more
Take my time, enjoy the walk
Appreciate each tree and rock
And all the things in life I lack
I pick up on the journey back
The journey back, I'm going back again
To where I lost that inner friend
Trust her voice and feel her power
Blossom like a hidden flower
