lyrics

i climb up on the mountain and look out at the sea
and see the wake of my own fears trailing after me
i stretch my eyes out to the very last point i can see
if i could take a step beyond i’d surely be set free

but freedom is within
that’s where it begins
it goes out to the horizon and further then again

when i reach beyond that point i realize i am lost
uncharted territory
black ocean never crossed
i hold on to things around me when the waves begin to toss
but sometimes when i reach for them the tether has been lost

my fears come from within
that’s where they begin
like waves out on the ocean they come rolling back again

but over them i’ll fix my gaze
below i know they’ll keep
and i’ll always know that i can sail as far as i can see
a steady wind in my sails
a strong vessel under me
a wider frame expands towards those points ahead of me

my dreams come from within
that’s where they begin
they go out to the horizon and further then again
