David D Mansell - The Four Corners Lyrics

Must have travelled the four corners
To return again to find
That no matter where I'm travelling to
You know I'm still of a homecoming kind

T'is not the destination
It's not the only place you will find
Got to be the conversation
That frees up the borders of my mind

Caught the train up Madagascar
Along a ridge they call the spine
Met a man who'd fled from Lhasa
Where freedom's still a heinous crime
And the fruits of labor torn from the vine

And as I row upon the river
To see the salmon leap the fall
With their strong sense of survival
An instinct to move us all

Upon a train to Nuwarelya
That climbs the clouds above the sea
Met a man who had four children
For whom he'd planned for honestly
One for law and one for medicine
And one a monk for a Monastery

His wife and daughter were not with him
They worked Kuwait for an Emir
Sending money back for family
The cost of love can be dear

T'is not the destination
It's not the only place you will find
Got to be the conversation
That frees up the borders of my mind
