Traveling from Home

I have traveled those little dirt paths that are now paved in white
Concrete highways once trails that lead down up the left to the right
All that coming and going, and everyone gets where they are
Though they started from nowhere these roads can take anyone far

And how far that may be now depends on the reach of the mind
As opposed to the physical limits imposed back in time
We are bridging the gap between thinking and doing
We can travel from home all the while barely moving
And what used to take several angles became a straight line

Now the world at our fingertips beckons us all to explore
But upon our arrival we ask, Is there anything more?
You could count your best friends on the hands you were given
But now, in the digital age that we live in
We number them millions and never walk out the front door

And together we're alone
We're traveling from home

Where there used to be wires connecting the dots on the map
Things have changed at the moment we talk to a screen on our lap
And to visit each other is not as unusual
Everyone's hooked up to audiovisual
We beam live via satellite Portland to Cumberland Gap

Now the world at our fingertips beckons us all to explore
But upon our arrival we ask, Is there anything more?
You could count your best friends on the hands you were given
But now, in the digital age that we live in
We number them millions and never walk out the front door

Together we're alone
We're traveling from home
We're traveling from home
We're traveling from home (home)
We're traveling from home (home)
