Mochi's Journey

[Verse] Mochi left New York Paws hitting the street Suitcase in his heart Hunger in his beat Old Mama waved Tears in her eyes "Come back soon " she said with quiet goodbyes [Verse 2] Crossed state lines With dreams so wide Sailed through the mountains Let the land decide Met a fox in the forest Sly eyes Quick feet "Travel with me " he said "to a westward beat." [Chorus] From New York to Cali With friends at his side Fox and the crow On the open road wide Journey's long But the heart finds its way Mochi dreams of home where his Mama will stay [Verse 3] In a city of lights A crow took flight Perched on Mochi's shoulder Squawking through the night "Heard you're headed west To the golden shore I'll take you there Let’s journey some more." [Bridge] Mountains to deserts Through valley and plain Every step echoed with the soft refrain Fox told old stories Crow sang loud tunes Mochi felt home drawing near under the moon [Verse 4] Golden Gate glimmered Cali's welcome sigh But Mochi knew his true quest Back to where hearts lie Turned toward the east With friends still near Homeward bound Each step washed away fear
