Some hearts are even wider than The land that they were born in The rover Ernest Shackleton Knew this well and true Forsook his citizenship For a ship to sail him through The ice of the Antarctic Bold and freezing still No borders, no men or war Just birds and a soaring will Sailing through the ice floes The Endurance was his guide But the winters of the Weddell Sea Chose to turn his tide. Two years in a wilderness Of white and ice and blue With little help from his home country Twas the whalers saved his crew So listen all ye wanderers All you with restless souls Go to where your heart is called And the call will turn you whole Hear the call of your heart Beyond papers, maps or start in life Go where you are free Home is where we feel we're meant to be The sailor in the land of ice Few would choose such hardship twice His aching heart went back to die Only the whales know why Home was not enough to hold me For years I did not belong So I took up my walking boots And sailed to foreign lands Seeking myself within lost crowds And love in strangers' hands. Been travelling for so long now My feet sway when I cease With papers in my hand once more I sought to find my peace Reached a Spanish shoreline At the rocks when dark would fall Where I might hear the old whales' song Those deep creatures sing to all. And in my wild wanderings It came clear to me That peace lies in the love of you My homesick soul; set free Hear the call of your heart Beyond papers, maps or start in life Go where you are free Home is where we feel we're meant to be A pirate with no land or home Came to find a love fore-known Twas written in the ancient sky Only the whales know why Whether person, place, land or song You choose where you belong Go where you are free The land is love and your heart is the key Vagabonds or queens or kings Follow where your heart will sing Be open and your feet will fly Only the whales know why
