Mentally on the road
  while spiritually at home

My mind got to wander
   as my soul was at peace

Mentally on the road
  while spiritually at home

My thoughts got to ponder
  what only distance could release

Mentally on the road
  while spiritually at home

My roots sinking deeper
  my connection firmed

Mentally on the road
  while spiritually at home

My legacy planted
   —beneath all that I’d learned
