Open Water

I leave the world around me Drifting in the open sea Heading for a shore Unending miles of ocean Leave my old life behind me I'm sure there will be more A place without the sorrows A place without the lies A place that we can call our home I'm sailing 'cross the ocean Heading for my destiny Beyond the open water I'm drifting to the wind blows A few days more and I'll be free Beyond the open water At every turn that I land I see the same old tragedy No place for me to be Sailing into the unknown Another bearing, hopefully The next shore sets me free
