Ballard of the Overlander Linda Bick, India 2006 What makes you leave your home and your familyYour job and security so far behind To face an existance full of uncertainty
Why be an Overlander To travel the world and see all its wondersIts places and people and cultures distinct
To lose fear of the unknown, put faith in humanity That's being an Overlander
But don't you feel lonely lost and bewilderedHow do you know which way to go There are so many dangers in all those strange places Where you are an Overlander Yes, at times I feel lonely lost and bewilderedOften confused not knowing the way But someone or something will happen to change thiongs
And help out an Overlander The problems you face are outnumbered by pleasures
Life never is easy at home or abroad But learning to trust is one of lifes treasures In being an Overlander
Forget all the images painted by mediaAnd open your heart and mind to the world A smile is the only weapon expedient In the pack of the Overlander So I'll keep on my way across the great continentsTo see many wonders both big and small I'll help where I can and share out my knowledge
While being an Overlander So raise up your glasses and toast all the travellers
We who have chosen to wander afar And those left at home who keep us connected Here's to you and the Overlanders |
