I always knew that deep inside me
somewhere was a traveler
The kind of man who ventures out
and doesn't think about home
For years that part of me was struggling
to find its freedom
Until one summer I let it have
its way, that's when I left for Rome
Getting on the plane I knew the
risk that I was taking
Most people wouldn't have the faith
to make the choice that I was making
Your dark eyes call me to the
journey
Somewhere behind your eyes -
a mystery
Your dark eyes, so secret yet
inviting
On the horizon lies something
like a destiny
Looking in your eyes I feel I'm
staring into the future
In the quiet moments I can hear
the call of the unknown
I follow and I find the peace of
leaving the past behind me
I hold you close and close my eyes
and then... I remember Rome
And now I'm holding onto your hand
as the plane leaves the ground
And I'm whispering a prayer of
thanksgiving for the soul I've found
I would rather risk the pain of
having made mistakes along the way
Than risk the greater pain of regret
that I didn't seize the day
