Motioning to Adam, he pulled out what appeared to be a pocket-sized audio playback unit. ?You?re probably wondering why that hymn the crowd started singing sounded so familiar, right? Turn to the last page and read the verses while you listen to this recording. I guarantee you?ll recognize it in its entirety.?
Adam pressed a few buttons on the unit while Sam found the entire hymn as Isabella told him. The memories of a leap long past returned to the forefront of his mind as he read the title:
?Fate?s Wide Wheel?
As I travel in space and time
I want to stay; I want to go
You see my face, but it?s not mine
What you can?t see, you?ll never know
How can we meet, if I?m not there?
Our hearts may touch, our bodies close
But time divides what we might share
And sends us all where no one goes
I?m just a traveler, upon the sea
Of time, of life, of Fate?s Wide Wheel
Just a traveler, in this mystery
The me I am, is all that?s real to me
We all begin this life alone
We live; we love, all through the years
Yet deep inside, we long for home
But it recedes, obscured by tears
I cry for time, it falls past me
The door of faith remains asleep
But in my soul, this hope burns free
Oh, please let there be one final leap
I?m just a traveler, upon the sea
Of time, of life, of Fate?s Wide Wheel
Just a traveler, in this mystery
The me I am, is all that?s real to me
The me I am, is all that?s real to me
?I
do remember this song!? Sam recalled. ?I was? Tonic of the rock band, King Thunder! I sang this very song!?
?One of your earlier leaps, according to the
Chronicles,? Isabella offered. ?It?s become the mantra for your followers?the hymn they sing to praise you.?
