Echoes of the Wild

Verse 1 Dawnlight kisses faded road signs, A backpack holding yesterday’s clouds. Unmarked stops on the map— Hide the words we never said when we were young. Chorus Let’s drive on, like monsoons longing for the shore, Even through empty stations we pass. Distant stars flicker faint and bright— That’s time whispering in the night. Verse 2 Guitar strings hum in unknown taverns, Wind carves memories into canyon walls. Suddenly I understand the traveler’s diary— Every detour has its necessary turn. Chorus Let’s drive on, like rivers forgiving the mountains, Even when echoes drown in the gorge. As morning fog swallows rusted rails, Some courage still remains. Bridge Years later when we speak of that wilderness, How campfire baked the sky into salt— We fall silent, hearing our twenty-year-old selves Toss a soda bottle into the boiling night. Outro Go now, carrying all the scattered constellations, Where blue haze rises where the highway ends. Let new dust settle beside the old— On the milestone, wildflowers tremble.
