The Beginning and the End
I will sail across the sea
To find the answers that I seek
To find the truth out in the deep
Leave behind both friends and home
Sail into the world unknown
Live the life Iāve longed to know
The Tide
I was born by the sea
Ocean air in my lungs and the tide at my feet
And the tide calls to me
To sail out into the deep
And if I fall into the deep
Iām coming home the tide will carry me
The tide will carry me home
Lullabies and your eyes
Are calling me home and I canāt ignore
The denial that I saw in your smile
When I set out into the unknown
Stories
There is a story that you hold
that is waiting to be told
out on the sea away from home in a world you donāt know
Close your eyes and realize
Now is the time to be alive
All youāve seen and all you know
Are only stories youāve been told
So go chase a world of your own
And watch your story unfold
Lost
Thereās gotta be something for me in the world out there
if only I could get past my doorstep
I had never heard the call of the world beyond the shore
but your words spoke to me and now my heart yearns for more
Thereās more than what I know, and
Iāll be lost till I find you
I know there are answers out there for me to find
I will sail the ocean blue to find the truth
I know Iām lost in a world alone
I will be lost until I find my home
Dangers of the Deep
They were sure you did not exist
You were just a legend and a myth
A little white lie mothers told their kids
To keep them safe from the dangers of the deep
Until the day you made history
When you washed up on the beach
And unravelled a mystery
What lies beneath? Whatās hiding in the deep?
Wish I Had Known You
Through the fog I can see
The light as it breaks through to me
In the cold we are clenching our teeth
We feel the mist off the see
And with each passing wave
I clench my teeth tighter again
And ponder the change the sea tends to make
With each passing day and each passing wave
Wish I had known, wish that I had really know you
The way I should have known you
The ocean breeze
It seems to speak to me
I feel Iām getting closer
Iāve crossed the sea to know your heart
And I know Iām not that far
I know the way you lived your life
And I know I want to live mine
The Storm
I feel the rain on my skin
As the darkness closes in
And the waves pull me down
Iām getting closer now
Do your best to make it home tonight
Crossing the Bar
Iāll keep trying to keep my head above the water
As long as you keep holding on
Iāll keep fighting for as long as I have strength left
But I doubt that Iāll be long
Into the deep and onto the stars
Sing me to sleep when I cross the bar
If you love me let me go
You and I fought long and hard we fought a good fight
And I am not ashamed
Of who I am or where Iāve been or where Iām going
No I am not afraid, as I go
Into the deep and onto the stars
Sing me to sleep when I cross the bar
If you love me let me go
Iāve been longing for my home
Look into my eyes
I just need to hear you say goodbye
Itās been a long, long night
I just need to hear you say goodbye
And good night
Ocean Forgets Me
Cold and lost in the ocean in a world Iāve come to know
As this ship sinks into the water and leaves me alone
Stars break through the clouds and shine down on this last night of my life
As I fight not to drown, as I fight to survive
And the ocean pulls me under
In its fierce unyielding grasp
As my futureās torn asunder
I feel your heart at last
The storm rages on after Iām gone
And the ocean forgets me
I am calm as the storm rages on
My story goes on
And the ocean forgets me
And pulls me under
In its fierce unyielding grasp
As my futureās torn asunder
I feel your heart at last
And the currents pull me deeper
Into the depths of the sea
I know my story will continue
As the ocean forgets me
After the End
I have a world to hope for
That Iāve never seen
But somehow I know
The ocean waves are guiding me onwards
To that faroff place
Where I long to go
The ocean held me, took me for its own
And the tide carried me home
To the sea of glass and fire that I saw in your life
When I first felt the tide
Calling me to go
This world is here for the waiting
And the hopeful
Out on the sea
Find your heart in the journey
Into the ocean
Into history
The songs you sing will never die
The life you lived keeps you alive
Your story begins after the end
After the End II
Late night
I see your eyes
Searching for something you wonāt find
I am creation and destruction
Both a beginning and an end
I am creation and destruction
I will bring you home again
So here is hope for every sailor
Who leaves home in search of more
I will be there when itās over
Iāll bring you home after the war
So when you reach your final chapter
And you round your final bend
I will meet you at the finish
Iāll bring you home after the end
The End and the Beginning
In the beginning and the end
The world goes on without me
In the beginning and the end
I ask myself the question
How will I be remembered?
The colours fade
As the tide takes me away
The colours fade
But the memories remain
