Somedays there is one little moment that seems to stick out as one that was so full of joy that it seems to jump out of my memory. Today that moment came on my drive up to Eau Claire. With only a handful of miles left to drive I turned off my podcast and was thinking about my trip to Colorado. I was quickly replaying some of the highlights of my most recent outdoor adventures. My grin grew and I figured there was only one right thing to do.

I rolled down the windows. A couple of clicks on my phone and I had a perfect song pulled up to jam out to for the last stretch of blacktop before the office. Borderlines by Hollow Coves.

For the next few minutes I wasn’t commuting to work. I was lost in a wonderful mix of the present and memory, wind rushing through my hair, singing along to a song that resonates with my wanderer soul, and enjoying every second of it.

I may not be crossing any borderlines today, but I sure was smiling as if I were.

Thanks!!!

I came here alone with a fire in my bones
Plans of distant dream
A traveler at heart with an unknown path
In a world full of sights unseen
Now I sway to and fro like a pendulum
To push and pull on the sea
With shores to the side, to go with the tides
Oh, walk on my own two feet

Cross the borderlines
Let’s live on the other side
See the way this world
Can come alive
Cross the borderlines
Let’s live on the other side
See the way this world
Can come alive

I came to the shore with an urge to explore
The lands of the great unknown
The rhythm inside as I opened my eyes
To see the world unfold
Will you come with me to the sights unseen?
Where no man’s gone before
Let’s take to the road, a life of our own
In search of something moreTo see a different light
That shines on the other side
That shows us there is more to this life

Cross the borderlines
Let’s live on the other side
See the way this world
Can come alive
Cross the borderlines
Let’s live on the other side
See the way this world
Can come alive

And we go to the mountains where our freedom calls
And we pray to the boundaries that are keeping us at home

Cross the borderlines
Let’s live on the other side
See the way this world
Can come alive

Cross the borderlines
Let’s live on the other side
See the way this world
Can come alive
