Journey of Ian
[Verse 1]
On a dusty old track, where the wildflowers grow,
A young boy named Ian, with nowhere to go.
He hops on a train, with dreams in his eyes,
Chasing the sun, where the bluebird flies.
With a heart full of hope and a ticket in hand,
He’s leaving behind his small, sleepy land.
[Chorus]
Oh, the wheels keep on turning, as the world rushes by,
Ian's on a journey, beneath the wide-open sky.
With the whistle a-blowing and the stars shining bright,
He’s finding himself in the warm golden light.
[Verse 2]
Through mountains and valleys, past rivers so wide,
Ian watches the world slip gently outside.
A place where the shadows of the tall oak trees
Whisper the secrets of the summer breeze.
Every stop holds a story, a moment to keep,
Where laughter and heartache, in memories seep.
[Chorus]
Oh, the wheels keep on turning, as the world rushes by,
Ian's on a journey, beneath the wide-open sky.
With the whistle a-blowing and the stars shining bright,
He’s finding himself in the warm golden light.
[Interlude]
(Instrumental break with gentle guitar strumming)
[Verse 3]
He meets an old man with tales to unfold,
Stories of life, worth more than gold.
“Son, you’ll find beauty in the struggles you face,
Keep your heart open, and you’ll find your place.”
Through laughter and tears, he learns as he goes,
With each mile a lesson, a new way that grows.
[Chorus]
Oh, the wheels keep on turning, as the world rushes by,
Ian's on a journey, beneath the wide-open sky.
With the whistle a-blowing and the stars shining bright,
He’s finding himself in the warm golden light.
[Verse 4]
As the train rolls on through the fading day’s glow,
Ian knows the journey is the greatest show.
His heart feels the rhythm of the wheels on the track,
With every forward step, there’s no looking back.
So here’s to the dreamers, the journey and the song,
In the heart of each traveler, we all belong.
[Outro]
Oh, the wheels keep on turning, as the night takes its flight,
Ian’s found his way, under the silver starlight.
With hope in his heart and a smile so true,
He carries the journey, in all that he’ll do.
