Travis John Lyrics

Under a foreign sky,
My fate awaits me.
There but for God go I,
Do not forsake me.

I am a boy,
Full of promise,
Full of freedom;
Now joy
Is dead and done,

I am gone.

Before the western sea,
My home was in the valley.
There with my family,
I took to manhood early.

I was the one
My brother called,
My mother looked to me,
Her fine, strong son;
Now the joy
Is dead and done,
I am gone.

Finding my way to go,
The call that I should answer;
My country's own hero,
Like music to the dancer.

I am a boy
Full of promise,
Full of freedom;
Now the joy
Is dead and done,
I am gone.

Under a weeping willow tree
You planted roses.
There in my memory,
Where my eternal ghost is.

I was a boy
Full of promise,
Full of freedom;
Now joy
Is dead and done,
I am gone.

Now the joy
Is dead and done,
I am gone.
