in the twilight of the city
where the neon lights do shine
I walk these foreign streets
a stranger in this time
the language on my tongue
a melody so new
each step I take a rhythm
in this world I've wandered to
here in the land of the unknown
under skies not mine to claim
I find a piece of home
in every heart every name
though the stars above are distant
and the moon a different face
in the arms of the unfamiliar
I find my place
the market's hung with life
a symphony of sound
each fenders call a verse
in this vast uncharted ground
I taste the flavors of the earth
a banquet of the new
in every bite a story
and in every smile a clue
here in the land of the unknown
where the rivers flow and you
I weave my thread into the tapestry
a part of something true
though the mountains rise in silence
and the rivers carve the space
in the heart of the unfamiliar
I find my Grace
oh the beauty of the foreign
the thrill of the untruck
each day a new adventure
each night a dream unfurl
the embrace of the other
I find a part of me
in the dance of the unknown I am free
here in the land of the unknown
where the winds of change to blow
I plant my roots in the unknown
and watch my branches grow
though the sun sets on
horizons that I've yet to trace
in the warmth of the unfamiliar
I find my embrace
so here I stand
in the midst of a stranger new traveler
in a world that's welcoming me through
in the chorus of the city
in the quiet of the plains
I am home in the heart of the unfamiliar
forever and always
