The early light is breaking,
The morning sun is waiting the sky,
And I think I'm gonna break away
And follow where the birds of freedom fly!

I need to give,
I need to live,
For the world is slowly turning,
And the lights of love are burning in my arms.

Caravan,
Oh my soul is on the run overland,
I am flying!
Caravan,
Moving out into the sun,
Oh I don't know where I'm going,
But I am going!

Wish I had the wisdom
To find some simple words to make you see
The things that mean a lot to you
Don't always seem to mean a lot to me!

I need to breathe,
I need to leave,
When the sands of time go drifting by
I may be on my own, but I'll be free!

Caravan,
Oh my soul is on the run overland,
I am flying!
Caravan,
Moving out into the sun,
Oh I don't know where I'm going,
But I'm going!

Caravan,
Oh my soul is on the run overland,
I am flying!
Caravan,
Moving out into the sun,
Oh I don't know where I'm going,
But I'm going!
