about

"Travis John" © 2003 Kate Power / Katidoo Publishing (BMI)

lyrics

under a foreign sky, my fate awaits me
there but for god go i; do not forsake me

i am a boy full of promise, full of freedom
and now the joy is dead and done
i am gone

before the western sea, my home was in the valley
there with my family, i took to manhood early

i was the one my brother called, my mother looked to me
her fine, strong son
and now the joy is dead and done
i am gone

finding my way to go, the call that i should answer
my country's own hero, like music to the dancer

i am a boy full of promise, full of freedom
and now the joy is dead and done
i am gone

under a weeping willow tree you planted roses
there in my memory, where my eternal ghost is

i was a boy full of promise, full of freedom
and now the joy is dead and done
i am gone
