To travel the world

To walk the places of the ancients

Would that I die happy

Just to do that before my body

Gives me up.

To touch those stones, to breathe that air

It would be nothing to compare

I live for knowledge that's what I seek

I need more input, just am to weak.

You can look at books, you can look at screens

But to be there and talk to the real people

That's what I hunger for, to see for my self

Because the truth is my sweet darlings,

I learned a long time ago,

To trust nothing or no one until you actually go and check it out yourself. Then you'll know.

Oh I'll never get to go,

Maybe in death I'll visit a few places. :-D
