Lyrics Fernando Ortega

Fernando Ortega

Traveler

Neon lights flickering outside the cafe

Ice on the windshield

Stars in a black sea

On a winter road

Flurries of snow

I'm ready to go

Past farmhouse and pasture our voices together

Rise to the drumming

Of big-rigs and trailers

Long hours til daylight

A rumbling bus

Our bed and our board

Heavenly Father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Heavenly Father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Safely home

In the towns off this highway the people are kind

They welcome us in

I sing in their church halls

Old hymns and prayer songs

With lifted hearts

We rejoice in the Lord

Heavenly Father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Heavenly Father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Safely home

I long for my family and friends to remind me

Of where I have been

And where I am going

And where I come from

Heavenly Father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Heavenly Father

Remember the traveler

Bring us safely home

Safely home
