[Verse 1]
I used to wish and wonder every day
Close my eyes and see where it would take me
I'd get lost in my dreams when I was a girl, was a child
Restless heart and mind still open wide
Running careless under clear and blue skies
Even then I did know that one day I would

[Pre-Chorus]
Walk away from the ones who'd enslave me
Every pain, every soul who would stain me
Leave behind little town where I once swore
"I will never die here"
Through the forest of green I will wander
Underneath starry skies I will slumber
I will climb every hill, every mountain
Till I've seen them all

[Chorus]
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings

[Verse 2]
And now that I've seen just a little, not a lot
But I know who I am and who I am not
I could weep for the ones who stumble through life like they're lost
Heedless hearts and eyes that must be blind
Living joyless under pale and grey skies
I just want them to know that right now they could

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Board the ship, hoist the sail, weigh the anchor
Set a course right towards the horizon
We can sail every sea, every ocean
Till we've seen them all

[Chorus]
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna live the stories I write
See the whole world with my own eyes
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
I wanna feel the flame when it burns
Wanna feel the pain when it hurts
Take the unknown trail
And hear the songs the night sings
