Tim Ward Jr. - Wanderer's Hymn

Let me not forget where I have been
May the treasures I have gazed upon always remain within
I’ll hold them in my mind
So when my sunset comes I’ll find
That I had not forgotten where I’ve been

Let me stand firm as the mountains I have climbed
Make me rugged, make me gracious as I’m carved away by time
I’ll be capped in silver snow long before those peaks erode
And I’ll bless the many mountains I have climbed

May the placid lakes be mirrors to my soul
In their glimmer I see glances of the days yet to unfold
The reflection is my own
And I have changed, yes I have grown
And in the placid lake I see that I am whole

Oh, if I never do return
To retrace those sacred pathways
Through the forests and the ferns
When the memories grow faint
And my soul begins to yearn
May the wind revive the embers
Let the wild fire burn

May the wilderness I’ve roamed take root inside
Let the terrifying beauty and the darkness all reside
And when the animal inside me cries
I’ll meet the dawn with fiery eyes
For the wilderness has taken root inside

May the waters I have bathed in course through me
Let the rivers be my bloodline flowing home toward the sea
When my final wave subsides
I will retreat into the tide
And when I’ve become the ocean, I’ll be free
