Lost Boys

We had a plan

The six of us were tired of living here

So we borrowed grumpy old Taniela's boat

And just disappeared

Yeh he had a plan

We thought we could make it to Fiji

Or even New Zealand

No one saw six boys sneak out the harbour

Just after the setting sun

It was calm at sea

So we thought we could sleep

But a storm broke and our anchor rope failed

Splashed awake by crashing waves

Tried lifting the mast but the wind ripped apart our sail

And I can't see what's in front of me

And I've never been so far away from home

And I can't see what's in front of me

And I've never been so far away from home

For eight days we drifted away

No food sharing rain from a coconut shell

For eight days I thought that we were done

Just six lost boys

All we had was each other and the setting sun

But then there was land

Summon what strength that you can

Plunged into the water

And swam for more than a day

Battered and sore, scrambled to shore

No we've been stuck on this island

For more than I can say

But we've got a plan

The six of us

We'll keep each other safe

We made a fire, it's never gonna die

And we'll be the same

Yeh we've got a plan

We'll share the tasks

We even wrote this song

So we strum this guitar

Made of driftwood and wire

To the setting sun

And I can't see what's in front of me

And I've never been so far away from home

And I can't see what's in front of me

And I've never been so far away from home

At night I look after the little ones

But I know I gotta be strong

I thought that someone might save us

But it's taking too long

It's been hundreds of days now

And there isn't anyone

But I can't believe what's in front of me

I can't believe my own eyes

I can't believe this is actually real

 There's a shape in the distance

And it's not just the sun

Six lost boys with long flowing locks

Are jumping ecstatically on a beach

Yeh he's got a plan

The six of us are no longer alone

This Australian fisherman found us

And he's taking us home

Yeh he's got a plan

He radioed to tell our folks we're safe

They'd held our funerals

But now we're coming out of our graves

 

And it's just sea in front of me

But I know that we are finally coming home

And it's just sea in front of me

But I know that we are finally coming home
