Traveling from Home

I have traveled those little dirt paths that are now paved in white Concrete highways once trails that lead down up the left to the right All that coming and going, and everyone gets where they are Though they started from nowhere these roads can take anyone far And how far that may be now depends on the reach of the mind As opposed to the physical limits imposed back in time We are bridging the gap between thinking and doing We can travel from home all the while barely moving And what used to take several angles became a straight line Now the world at our fingertips beckons us all to explore But upon our arrival we ask, Is there anything more? You could count your best friends on the hands you were given But now, in the digital age that we live in We number them millions and never walk out the front door And together we're alone We're traveling from home Where there used to be wires connecting the dots on the map Things have changed at the moment we talk to a screen on our lap And to visit each other is not as unusual Everyone's hooked up to audiovisual We beam live via satellite Portland to Cumberland Gap Now the world at our fingertips beckons us all to explore But upon our arrival we ask, Is there anything more? You could count your best friends on the hands you were given But now, in the digital age that we live in We number them millions and never walk out the front door Together we're alone We're traveling from home We're traveling from home We're traveling from home (home) We're traveling from home (home)
