(Isn't It) The Journey? (Shad)

Rees Shad

Mile 25 of highway one she turned off the radio station

She smiled and took my hand said: “let’s have a media free vacation.”

I asked where we were heading now after the year that we’d been through

She squeezed my hand and said: “I don’t care as long as I’m traveling with you.”

 

Isn’t it the journey?

Isn’t it the journey that…

Isn’t it the journey that makes it all worthwhile?

 

Eight hundred miles down the coast of somewhere

She sang me a song and I almost wept

Something about turning round and growing up

Moving on without taking a step

 

By a lighthouse on the outer banks

She found a perfect mussel shell

Held it to her eye and played captain hook

And then she told me that she’d miss me

 

I said: Isn’t it the journey?

Isn’t it the journey that…

Isn’t it the journey that makes it all worthwhile?

 

One night in Savannah

We walked down streets that smelled of gardens

It was a paradise and that night as we made love

She said you always take me to places I remember

From scripture, acts of kindness, and works of art

 

Now I watch the sun set down upon the gulf

And feel she’s standing somewhere near

I try to keep her wisdom deep down inside

And not let destinations interfere

 

‘Cause Isn’t it the journey?

Isn’t it the journey that…

Isn’t it the journey that makes it all worthwhile?
