Caravan Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a world lit only by fire
A long train of flares
Under piercing stars
I stand watching the steam-liners roll by
[Verse 2]
The caravan thunders onward
To the distant dream of the city
The caravan carries me onward
On my way at last, on my way at last
[Hook]
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
[Verse 3]

Instead of where I should
I peer out at the passing shadows
[Verse 4]
Carried through the night into the city
Where a young man has
A chance of making good
A chance to break from the past
[Verse 5]
The caravan thunders onward
Stars winking through the canvas hood
The caravan thunders onward
On my way at last, on my way at last
[Hook]
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
In a world where I feel so small
I can't stop thinking big
[Instrumental]
[Hook]
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
I can't stop thinking big
In a world where I feel so small
I can't stop thinking big
In a world where I feel so small
I can't stop thinking big
