Analysis of Journeyman
A note
A lyric
A melody
Is always on my mind
A guitar
A pick
A microphone
Are easy for me to find
Did I choose this life
Or did it choose me
The question of the day
I live my life
I sing my songs
Whatever comes my way
The path ahead is uncertain
But it doesn’t bother me
The thrill is in the chase
The future that I can’t see
Faith keeps my eyes aimed forward
Experience has my back
My head is on a swivel
To fight the doubt when it attacks
A note
A lyric
A melody
Is always on my mind
A guitar
A pick
A microphone
Are easy for me to find
Did I choose this life
Or did it choose me
The question of the day
I live my life
I sing my songs
Whatever comes my way
