Pan's Pencil

Sometimes you need to go, travel afar,
and leave all your everyday patterns behind
to get a new glimpse on the person you are
and you'll be surprised by the marvels you'll find.

Sometimes you have to escape home-grown spells,
becoming a stranger among strangers' streets,
to hear your heart echoing in someone else
and find the sound silence your unnoticed needs.

'Cause sometimes a view from this far spot in space
can change your perspective and clear up the maze,
can make wonders happen in magical ways
and once you're returning, the magic, it stays.
