World Traveler
Andrew Peterson

Well, I grew up in a little town

A southern mix of lost and found

Where most folks seem to stick around, whoa


But I could hear the highway song

I'd sit out on the dock till dawn

And dream about the great beyond


I dreamed that I was a world traveler

Set me loose to find my way

Just get me out on the road someday

With my sails unfurled


So many mysteries I wanted to unravel

If I could travel the world


And soon enough I had my way

I saw the world the Lord has made

Mostly from the interstate, whoa


But I had hardly seen a thing

Until I gave that golden ring

To the one who gave her heart to me


And I became a world traveler

That's the day I hit the road

I walked the hills of the human soul

Of a tender girl


I'm a world traveler

She opened the gate and took my hand

Led me into the mystic land

Where her galaxies swirl


So many mysteries I never will unravel

I want to travel the world


Take a left at the end of my street

Just a few doors down

Up the hill and into the trees

There's a hole in the ground


Where we traveled the caverns so deep

Wandered the wonders so wide

It was right beneath our feet

All this time, all this time


Well, tonight I saw the children in their rooms

Little flowers all in bloom

Burning suns and silver moon


And somehow in those starry skies

The image of the Maker lies

Right here beneath my roof tonight


So hold on tight, I'm a world traveler, yeah


Oh, I'm a world traveler

Pack your bags and dig down deep

Ride the storms and sail the seas

To the distant pole


I'm a world traveler

Into these uncharted lands

To blaze a trail in the vast expanse

Of the heart and soul


In the grace of the God of peace

Let's wade into the battle

So come on, come on with me

And get up in that saddle


There's a million mysteries I'm ready to unravel

Come on, let's travel the world


So come on, come on with me now

I want to travel the world

So come on, come on with me
