To long for the distance

To dream of new shores

Is always reminding

That life is so short

This fight in the mind

Like two knights of light and dark

A fight of this kind

Might be a life’s bouncing barque

Takes man away from a home

From a life of letdown and of grief

Away from a love

From the ones who needed to be left behind

Unknown realms

Deep in the heart

Unknown realms

Deep in the heart

To yearn for the distance

To keep hope alive

Needs heavy persistence

Deep faith must survive

This striving in mind

Like two knights of gloom and dark

A fight of this kind

Might sink a life’s swaying barque

Takes man away from a home

From a life of letdown and of grief

Away from a love

From the ones who needed to be left behind

To gain a new life

Life hides

Deep in the yearning

To gain a new life

Life hides

Deep in the yearning

Away with the wind

From life’s turbulences

Away with the wind

From life’s circumstances

Away with the wind

From life’s bad chances

Away and away, and away, and away

Away with the wind

towards the unknown

Away to the unknown

To the unknown

Away

The distance takes man away

Takes man away from a home

From a life of letdown and of grief

Away from a love

From the ones who needed to be left behind

To gain the unknown

Unknown realms

Deep in the heart

To gain the unknown

Unknown realms

Deep in the heart

Life hides

Deep in the yearning

Life hides

Deep in the yearning

To long for the distance

To dream of new shores
