I have nowhere to go Just a man without a home Wandering along this bent And crooked stream. Got a bag on my back and I'm not looking back Just the future, not the past is all I see. I hitched a ride West Cuz I gave up the best thing that's ever, ever happened to me And I sit here tonight By the dim firelight As I wonder in sight Of the darkening sky. As I look at the stars I write my memoir And think about where you are. As long as we see the same moon And the stars We're never, ever too far apart. Darling, lift your head. What do you see? When you see the brightest star Do you think of him, or think of me? Honey, dont move Just stay in bed. Dont worry about me, lay down and rest your head. I'm out here alone Made a choice of my own. The fire's dying I'm getting cold. The moon and stars went out And I'm freezing to the bone I'm packing up And moving on again. Thats my choice. I'm sorry I didnt hold you longer Babe, I really miss your voice. But again, I'm going further And I'm carrying the load Of losing you. I've made it to a safer place Where my dreams of you And all my hopes And prayers And desperate pleas Come true.

Faith's Crossroads
I have nowhere to go Just a man without a home Wandering along this bent And crooked stream. Got a bag on my back and I'm not looking back Just the future, not the past is all I see. I hitched a ride West Cuz I gave up the best thing that's ever, ever happened to me And I sit here tonight By the dim firelight As I wonder in sight Of the darkening sky. As I look at the stars I write my memoir And think about where you are. As long as we see the same moon And the stars We're never, ever too far apart. Darling, lift your head. What do you see? When you see the brightest star Do you think of him, or think of me? Honey, dont move Just stay in bed. Dont worry about me, lay down and rest your head. I'm out here alone Made a choice of my own. The fire's dying I'm getting cold. The moon and stars went out And I'm freezing to the bone I'm packing up And moving on again. Thats my choice. I'm sorry I didnt hold you longer Babe, I really miss your voice. But again, I'm going further And I'm carrying the load Of losing you. I've made it to a safer place Where my dreams of you And all my hopes And prayers And desperate pleas Come true.
All of our journeys will take us to faith's crossroads. Which path will you take?
