Traveling Light
by Jane Eggers and Tammy Jann
2020
Through the hallway, up the stairs, theres a
Scent of parting in the air
Almost more than she can bear
A weight on her heart.
Ornaments and photographs, theres a
Time for sadness, time for laughs,
Time to take your chosen path,
For doing your part.
Chorus
Travelling light
Into the night.
Everything she needs, right here
The futures calling loud and clear
Shes travelling light.
Jumble kept for keepings sake, that she
No longer appreciates
Into the donation crate
She's putting things right.
Leave the baggage, leave the pain, go and
Find your sense of life again
Grab your rucksack, catch that train,
She's Travelling light.
Chorus
Travelling light
Into the night.
Everything she needs, right here
The futures calling loud and clear
Shes travelling light
