A Thousand Places - Temperance

It’s early, I’m awake — in the darkness I stare

Well, I can’t remember the name of this new place

It’s funny when it happens and you do not have a clue

It makes you realize you are alive

One million lights are shining bright

So many faces I do not know

A thousand places I want to see

This is a secret to break free

Walking down the streets I can breathe the thick air

Then suddenly the desert is here

And when I’m getting used to the city I’m in

I will not stay, the world awaits

Here it comes the day that I’m leaving again

I am always amazed by new colors and scenes

Every land’s so different from the previous that I’ve seen

Different words and different ideas

One million lights are shining bright

So many faces I do not know

A thousand places I want to see

This is a secret to break free

Walking down the streets I can breathe the thick air

Then suddenly the desert is here

And when I’m getting used to the city I’m in

I will not stay, the world awaits

(Oh… oh… oh…)

(Oh… oh… oh…)

Oh…
