Journey Of The Magi Lyrics - Poetry Of The Deed - Frank Turner

Moses was old, a chill in his bones 

Falling apart, he knew in his heart that his time had come 

As he lay in his tent in the hot desert sands 

He smiled at how he would never see his promised land 

He sang, "I could have lived and died 

An Egyptian prince, could have played safe 

But in the end journey's brought joys 

That outweigh the pain" 

Now Odysseus sat tired and alone 

He'd always held out against all the doubts he would come home 

Now he was here, his soul felt estranged 

His wife and his dog, his son and his gods, everything changed

He sang, "I could have stayed and ruled 

As an Ithacan prince, could've played safe 

But in the end journey's brought joys 

That outweigh the pain" 

Now Balthazar rode for seven long years 

Eastwards and far, he followed his star and it brought him here 

To a stable in ruins in some backwater town 

To a virgin defiled, no king but a child, too small for a crown 

He sang, "I could have lived with my Gods 

As a Persian prince, I could've played safe 

But in the end journey's brought joys 

That outweigh the pain"

Paupers and kings, princes and thieves 

Singers of songs, righters of wrongs, be what you believe 

Saddle your horse, shoulder your load 

Burst at the seams, be what you dream and then take to the road
