Bon Voyage

[Intro] [Verse] Woken up early, while the world still asleep A child’s mind in a grown-up frame, carrying heavy keeps Weight of the world pressing down like I rule it all Words can’t explain, no one could grasp it at all Heart racing, alive inside Packing my bag, opening life wide [Verse 1 – The Beginning] Stepping outside, streets feel new Sunlight gray, snowy sidewalks too Routine and grind just slipped away Morning air made a brighter day Touring the world is every generation’s dream Do it while you’re young, while life still gleams I hear old people always regret not traveling more Because years gone back can’t be bought, that’s the score I took flights to somewheres far and new With every mile, my soul starts renew [Chorus] Oh bon voyage, let my heart run free Life’s a trip, not a race for you and me Enjoy the journey, not at the end of the line We carry no bags — just deeds through time Oh bon voyage, under open skies Every road a lesson, every step a sign Life’s a trip, not a race for you and me So let your spirit fly, let it flow free [Verse 2 – continent 1] Cobblestone streets, midnight trains Old castles whisper joy and pains Coffee in tiny shops, windows glow Pastries warm, stories told slow Different tongues, laughters at dawn Same ingredients, somehow drawn [Chorus] Oh bon voyage, let my heart run free Life’s a trip, not a race for you and me Enjoy the journey, not at the end of the line We carry no bags — just deeds through time [Verse 3 – continent 2] Cusco mornings, mountains high Chocolate treats, empanadas, sky Same old bread, new charcoal smoke Hard to breathe, but worth the look Ancient stones remind what we’re part of Pain in lungs, yet peace fills the heart of Buenos Aires, Paris, Madrid mix Tango streets, rhythms that fix [Chorus] Oh bon voyage, let my heart run free Life’s a trip, not a race for you and me Enjoy the journey, not at the end of the line We carry no bags — just deeds through time [Verse 4 – continent 3] Temple bells, crowded streets Spices in air, Korean treats Tea poured slow, respect from Nara deer Patience learned from streets that steer Night markets glow, stories exchanged Paths differ, but hearts unchanged Different rules, same human flame Life connects us, all the same [Chorus] Oh bon voyage, let my heart run free Life’s a trip, not a race for you and me Enjoy the journey, not at the end of the line We carry no bags — just deeds through time [Verse 5 – continent 4] Sydney’s Manly Beach, favorite place Reminds me of Italian Riviera’s grace Oceans wide, skies so clear Silence loud when nature’s near Kangaroos run, kiwis at dawn Wildlife free, no cages drawn Mountains breathe, earth feels true The land shows what matters to you [Verse 6 – mid-journey] Along the journey, I visited kin and friends Their warmth reminded me roots never end I don’t travel for fame or gold, or likes, nor to brag I chase moments, memories I hold Under foreign skies, my prayers rise Guidance, love, better days in my eyes [Verse 7 – growth] Out the door, out the mold, out the box New rhythms, new clocks, new ways to talk Pressure dropped, my vision grew Confidence built just passing through Different cultures taught me to see Different truths living peacefully I didn’t just move — I changed inside Lost some fears, gained a wider sight [final verse – guidance] My father said, before the wars, before he would part Words engraved deep within my heart: “This feeling fades as years go on New lands may lose their vibrant song Life’s a trip, the finish line awaits Your good and bad deeds are written in every place Walk the road, and feel the fire But never cross the score chasing desire Every place is a package — both good and bad No heaven on earth… that’s why I had to pass Remember, the journey shapes the soul What you leave behind is the story of your whole. [outro - Chorus] ”Oh bon voyage, let my heart run free Life’s a trip, not a race for you and me Enjoy the journey, not at the end of the line We carry no bags — just deeds through time Oh bon voyage, hear the road call out Every doubt replaced by wonder now Life’s a trip, not a race for you and me So let your spirit fly, let it be free written by Laith
