about

After me and my wife watched through Avatar: The Last Airbender a few months ago, I was inspired to write a song in that world! I was especially inspired by Chong, from "The Cave of the Two Lovers"

The idea behind this song is that it's a bard (could be Chong, could not :P ) trying to woo a girl into traveling with him across the world!

lyrics

Verse 1
You know life ain’t easy living out on the lamb
But with a song in my heart and a lute in my hand
I’ve been living my best life taking one day at a time
They say don’t fall in love wit h a traveling girl
She’ll leave you broke and broken hearted
I wish I’d known that when I started

I was young, a little stupid, but I made it alright
At least I made it here to your side tonight

Chorus
So hey! Pretty baby won’t you look my way
I’m headin’ from Omashu to Ba Sing Se
And I could use a friend and it’s dang’rous to be travelin’ alone
Or if your headed to Kyoshi let me take you there
You might be attacked by a platypus bear
So come and take my hand, ‘cause it’s easy when the road is your home

Verse 2
Since then I’ve been wandering ‘tween village and town
And I never let the fire nation get me down
I’ve met many a girl and had many a broken heart
I travelled for month with a colony girl
She was fiery and radiant but I guess that’s to be expected
She left me broken and dejected

But she’d say you never know if your story will last
You gotta live now, ‘stead of in the past

Chorus

Bridge
Well it took a few tries but I’ve figured it out
And I know deep within me what it’s really about
Though the storm clouds are raging and we’re ‘bout to be pulled down
With you by my side, we’ll make it okay
And it’s a long long way to Ba Sing Se!
So come with me baby ‘cause I know it’s love that I’ve found

Chorus
