Ben Travis: Music
When I Come to the End of My Rope
((c)2000 Ben Travis)
I wrote this one in a very free-flowing way... I just sat down at the keyboard with the sound that I ended up using on the final recording, and these words started coming out, so I went with it. I enjoy the simplicity of the lyrics on this song, and the raw way they came out of me.
When I come to the end of my rope
Will there be anything to hold onto?
When I come to the end of my rope
Will there be anyone to hold onto?
When I come to the end of my travels
Will there be anyone to come home to?
When I come to the end of my travels
Will there be anyone to belong to?
When I find myself,
you'll be the first to know
When I know myself,
you'll be the first one I find
When I come to the end of my rope
Will there be anyone to protect me?
When I come to the end of my rope
Will there be anyone who can save me?
When I find myself
on the edge of the horizon
When I find myself
in the footsteps of mankind
When I come to the end of my rope
Will there be anyone to hold onto?
When I come to the end of my rope
Will there be anyone to belong to?
