Here are the official lyrics, typos and all, for the video of the poem that many of you asked about.
Journey by James Carter starts like so:
A poem is a journey
That starts off in your head
A word, a phrase, a thought you’ve had
Or something that you’ve read.
And this is where the video starts with the girls. The boys and girls alternate every stanza:
A poem is a journey
Not by river, road or rail
Or beaten track, or busy street
Or lonely mountain trail.A poem is a journey
To many other worlds
However far your travels are
They’re measured out in wordsA poem is a journey
For which there is no map
No signpost or directions-
Who knows where you’ll end up ?A poem is a journey
To loose and find yourself
To go somewhere, to stay right here
To be somebody elseA poem is a journey
To places far and strange
There’s only one thing that’s for sure-
You won’t come back the same.
Here’s the link to the video again if you want to open it in another window and try to follow along. One of these days I’ll do a cool subtitled video for you all, but I’m too busy right now preparing English and Math exams for the woodshop students. Please note that the poem is signed word-for-word, and this not how anyone here signs in conversation. I believe its a requirement of the music festival they’re practicing for, due to some sort of bureaucratic requirement that the performance follow the English text perfectly.
