Lyrics
Traveling long ways, from whence we start
Feelings of joy, and broken hearts
Of all the memories, which come to me
Are journeys full of mystery!
Your hair that day, so long ago
Shone in the Sun, your mane did flow
It's not unlike a common dream
Where all that is, is not what it seems
Somewhere, in all those yesterdays
They brought me here, and changed the way I keep
remembering when you were near
And I call your name so sweet and dear
Life takes me places I long to go
Bittersweet the journey, fast or slow
These have all been, filled with power
Our rite of passage, our shining hour
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
And in your eyes I saw that day
Visions of hope traveling on my own
Finding others helping make this song
The milestones of life, we all belong
Transitions we feel, can be hard and long
But here in the Center
Is Beauty and Truth
Harbinger of Peace
Foundations unmoved
Doors opening after a fall
Lost in summer days, the best of all
I first saw you, that sundrenched day
This heart you stole, looking my way
You taught me more, than I could count on
Bittersweet the journey to the mountain
In that teaching, we soared so high
And fell a little too late to cry
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
(Instrumental break)
Life takes me places I long to go
Bittersweet the journey, fast or slow
These have all been, filled with power
Our rite of passage our shining hour
Somewhere, in all those yesterdays
They brought me here, and changed the way I keep
remembering when you were near
And call your name, so sweet and dear
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
Our rite of passage
