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
