I found myself in a unknown land

a barren land for a strange man

I tried to follow all your footsteps

but I just can't do it in your same way

So many dreams, so many thoughts

So many letters to write home

I had no choice but to start my walk

Only then I will find what I'm looking for

*

I sail all those treachorous waters

Making my mind ready to go and wander

If I cannot find what I really want

If I cannot get what is so needed in my heart

I will be ready to never come back

But at least no one will deny how much I tried

A map to nowhere, a compass with no north

Why do I need directions when I have nothing to rely on?

*

Maybe in another time or age

Maybe in another place and space

Maybe the next time I see your face

I will be close to end my quest

*

I know I'll see so many wonders

castles, palaces, valleys and towers

But every tale has its witch

in every story you'll find an enemy

It's not the climb what I fear the most

it's the view and how low I could fall

So if this fairytale has a bittersweet conclusion

At least I'll be the one writing the fix and the solution

*

Maybe in another time or age

Maybe in another place and space

Maybe the next time I see your face

I will be close to end my quest
