A man adrift at sea
Dreams of a place he'd rather be
Feeling sick to his stomach
As the waves heave him up and down again
But there is hope
A light beckons on the horizon
To set him free
And a lifetime passes before his eyes
As he rests upon the sea
Upon the sea.
But that was a lifetime ago
When an ocean felt like tears upon a veil
And loneliness wasn't right
Taking comfort from the blowing of a whale.
With the sea you pass a thousand years
And you learn to quickly face your fears
And a lifetime passes before your eyes
As you gaze upon the sea and sky
So warily upon the sea.
I just want to let you know how I feel
This is something that I'd rather not conceal
Close your eyes the sea will sweep you off your feet
Don't wanna throw in the towel
Admit my defeat.
A man adrift at sea
Can't think of a place he'd rather be
At home amongst the waves
He dreams of a life that he has saved.
And he is home
He feels the tears welling in his eyes
Certain assurance from a lifetime
That passes him by.
Now he is free upon the sea
Now he is free upon the sea.
