Wanderer by Bre McDaniel
A song for those who can't see the path.
The majority of the lyrics are based on a long form poem by Antonio Machado called,
'Proverbios y Cantares XXIX', from his Campos de Castilla collection (1912). The chorus was influenced by Joan Manuel Serra's tribute song 'Cantares' (1969).
Antonio Machado ranks among Spain’s greatest 20th-century poets.

Lyrics
wanderer, your footsteps are the road and nothing more
wanderer, there is no road
the way is made by walking alone
when the goldfinch cannot sing
when the poet is a pilgrim
when more prayer will do us no good
traveller there is no path
but beat by beat
there is no road, only walking upon the sea
maybe you know what it means to be lost, and you're missing some part of you
or you were lead so clearly to this place with no next steps, only ledges
wanderer, there isn't always a right route
but we can commit ourselves to a way
when the goldfinch cannot sing
when the poet is a pilgrim
when prayer will do us no good
traveller there is no path
but beat by beat
there is no road, only wakes upon the sea
