Global Nomad

All my life from place to place

Rolling stone, no moss and no face

Come and go without a trace

Drifting through this endless space

 

Must be beautiful, magical

you're free like a bird

No moss as you toss

through the waves of the world

 

I'll never be, I'll never know

Though I'm free, I've got no home

Rootless, faceless and alone

Wherever I drift, wherever I roam

 

Having a place, a simple pleasure

I cannot fathom, cannot measure

but what I have, I do treasure

to see, to grow, I'm free, I know.

Written about my life as a third culture kid- to show that it is a dubious thing to travel all your life, pleasant as it may sound to some.
