They packed an old beater with faith and some clothes
Drove three thousand miles to the coast
No plan to fall back on, they threw it all in
To follow a calling
They took in the teaching, their hearts set ablaze
Dreamed of the lives they would change
Hope in their eyes as they said their goodbyes
And headed off for the frontlines
In a map on the wall
Yeah, the world seems so small
When your are eyes closed tight
Knelt by the candlelight
Everything seems right
You went for it all
So here’s to the sojourners searching for shore
Who set out to sea on a journey for more
Here’s to the souls with the stories untold
May the wind fill their sails
And carry them home
It wasn’t so long in the malls and the street
Till the battles piled up with no victory
Rent overdue or a boy with a tumor
You’re stuck on these promises never comes true
And the doubts creep in, like cracks in the ceiling
You’ve lost all your zeal and the wounds have stopped healing
They grow like a cancer these questions unanswered
There’s no one to take them away
You wish you could be
An innocent sheep
But you’ll never be whole
If you can’t face your soul
So you go
Into the unknown
So here’s to the sojourners searching for shore
Who set out to sea on a journey for more
Here’s to the souls with the stories untold
May the wind fill their sails
And carry them home
Carry them home
(Carry them home) To all those who are seeking a haven
Who’ve carried the faith across oceans untaken
(Carry them home) To those who left an old world behind
Who have lost sight of shore for a very long time
(Carry them home) Who ride into storms with their sails unfurled
To the glorious shipwreck lost seeking worlds
Carry them home
Carry them home
Carry them home
