lyrics

Sunrise on an open sea
bracing Pacific breeze
The sand is cold but friends are close
this coast is the most snug post

(chorus)
Still so much we've got to see
once we are finally free
Time, time may take us by
but we will never say goodbye

Open sky, Open mind
head to the stars, see what we'll find
Deepest blue, black velvet
a galaxy's cradle, a silent minaret

(chorus)

Whoa, don't say goodbye
Whoa, don't say goodbye

Soulless clouds cover the sky
rain so much we could die
Winds agust, storm afoot
what a perfect time to read a book

A thousand times, yes of course!
Like wings on a bird, we could soar
Hand in hand, to explore the land
as far as our little legs can

(chorus)

The world is an open book
filled with liars, filled with crooks
but always, to their dismay
resolute souls find a way

How can it be the society that we see
that those with good hearts are brought to their knees
Not today, but tomorrow you'll see
all this life can crack up to be

Whoa, don't say goodbye
Whoa, don't say goodbye
Whoa, don't say goodbye
Whoa, don't say goodbye

I know it's there, that shred of hope
Keep it safe with this simple note
Mmmm...
Whoa, safe as can be
