[Verse] spoken
| A | D | E | A |
"They say a restless body can hide a peaceful soul.
| A | D | E | A |
A voyager, and a settler, they both have a distant goal.
| A | D | E | A |
If I explore the heavens, or if I search inside.
| A | D | E | E |
Well, it really doesn't matter as long as I can tell myself
| E | A |
I've always tried."
[Chorus]

How I treasure every minute

Being part of, being in it

With the urge to move on
[Verse]
A D
I've travelled every country
E A
I've travelled in my mind
A D
It seems we're on a journey
E A
A trip through space and time
A D
And somewhere lies the answer
E A
To all the questions why
A D
What really makes the difference
E E
Between all dead and living things
E A
The will to stay alive

[Verse]
A D
The morning breeze that ripples
E A
The surface of the sea
A D
The crying of the seagulls
E A
That hover over me
A D
I see it and I hear it
E A
But how can I explain
A D
The wonder of the moment
E E
To be alive, to feel the sun
E A
That follows every rain
[Chorus]
