Traveler - Fernando Ortega

Neon lights Flickering

Outside the cafe'

Ice on the windshield

Stars in a black sea

On a winter road

Flurries of snow

I’m ready to go

Past farmhouse and pasture

Our voices together

Rise to the drumming

Of big-rigs and trailers

Long hours to daylight

A rumbling bus

Our bed and our board

Heavenly father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Heavenly father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Safely home

In the towns of this highway

The people are kind

They welcome us in

I sing in their church halls

Old hymns and prayer songs

With lifted hearts

We rejoice in the Lord

Heavenly father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Heavenly father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Safely home

I long for my family

And friends to remind me

Of where I have been

And where I am going

And where I came from

Heavenly father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Heavenly father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Safely home
