Rich Austin - The Journey

The 2nd track from the album 'Welcome to the Circus'

This song is about seeing the wood for the trees after having a break from something you didn’t realise was perhaps going on too long/going stale. This ‘journey’ we all go on therefore, is about finding what we want, in the hope of building better relationships and become a greater person from it.

Lyrics:

I’ve been locked up in the hole, been so worried about you, I need to find you
I’ve been climbing up the walls, been so worried about you, I wanna guide you….I wanna guide you

The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step,
I’ve been climbing up the walls, been so worried about you, I wanna guide you….I wanna guide you yeah
My fingers are down to the bone…I’ve been breaking rocks…I’ve been smashing rocks…

I keep having all these dreams, and I see you falling, I can’t stop your falling
I keep seeing you

Ooooh Now I see
Now it’s all so clear to me
Ooooh now I see
In the cold light of day,
I can finally see the way…

I’ve broke my way out of the hole, now I’m here to guide you, I’m here beside you
Now we’re smashing down the walls, now we’re breaking through, and it’s all for you, it's all for you…

Ooooh Now I see
Now it’s all so clear to me
Ooooh now I see
In the cold light of day,
I can finally see the way…

When we’re talking, we’ll be walking we’ll be walking towards the light
When they’re looking, they’ll be searching, we’ll be clean outta sight,
The day is breaking, we’ll be making towards the sun, we’ll be making towards the sun

Ooooh Now I see
Now it’s all so clear to me
Oooooh Now I see
In the cold light of day,
I can finally see the way…x3

The journey of a thousand miles, starts with just a single step x 4
