The Traveler's Dream of Motion (part 1)
lyrics/music by Edie Marshall

Oh, my child, stars have led
your battered ship to fight
a battle that cannot be won
far from the harbor's light

Mercy on broken treasures
buried full of life,
for every piece of tarnished gold
will shine in the harbor's light

Embrace the one full of strength,
but is not yet the wise
and humble king to claim his throne
so far from the harbor's light

Oh, my child, I have raised
what I must trust is right,
for all things end and are born again
far from the harbor's light
