Come Travel With Me

Music and Lyrics: Gary J. Ehrlich (c) 4/95)

Inspired by the Traveler episodes from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Took second place at FilKONtario 5's "Hitch Your Wagon To A Star" song contest.


     A             E                   D                    E
When I first came aboard your ship all minds were closed to me
   D             E               D       E
No single member of the crew saw my ability
  A                 E             D                    E
Until I brought you to a place fantastic, strange, and new
     D            E              D                   E
Then you began to understand the things that I could do
  A                E       D               E
I saw that you had capabilities you barely know
    D               E                D                 E
The places that lie in your reach if you let your mind go
     A               E                     D               E
I'll take you on the journey through those far and distant lands
  D            E              D                E
A special destiny is yours if you just take my hand

            A         E           D                A
CHO  If you open your eyes to the things you could be
            A          E              D           A
     I will take you a place that few others will see
            A         E              D                E
     If you open your mind; set your thoughts running free
                         D E
     And you travel with me
                      A
     Come travel with me

First on your own you set out; your horizons aimed to spread
You could not see the dangers or the trials that lay ahead
The one who was most dear to you was lost to you, you feared
From deep inside you called for me; I heard and I appeared
I was the one who reassured that there was still a way
Together we both worked as one to open up the gate
Your journey has now started, you've begun to realize
A new world is within your reach; the power within you lies

CHORUS

Once more your path led to me as you flew among the stars
Now poised to make the jump to a dimension without bars
The journey they had planned for you was not your destined way
From out of swirling forces you leapt to another plane
You did not know that it was me; I came to you disguised
With my help and my urging you found just where your heart lies
At last your mind is open full, your spirit's running free
You stand prepared to take my hand and travel space with me
