[Lyric] Journey (Esther Pennell)

[Chorus]
Going on a journey, and in my backpack I'll take
The wisdom of my ancestors and a slice of humble cake
’Cause this journey is a long one
It's not just mine to take
I'm going for my children and my children’s children's sake

[Verse 1]
When we heal our sorrows, we mark a trail for those to come
We give them hope for the future and a guide to follow from
'Cause this journey is a long one
And it's not just ours to take
Take it for the children, and their children's children's sake

[Verse 2]
Let's sing our children home
The way our grandmothers have done
Sing them along life's journey
So they’ll never have to be alone

[Chorus]
’Cause this journey is a long one
And it's not just ours to take
We take it for the children, and their children’s children's sake
[Outro]
I'm going on a journey, and in my backpack I'll take
The wisdom of my ancestors and a slice of humble cake
