lyrics

An empty boat moves with the wind
a separate leaf soon leaves its kin
the still pond reflects the light
of the world’s most wondrous sights

Midnight sky, the sea, a chilling breeze
a fire, a log, a place for thought
Where will I steer? With whom will I go?
Across the ocean blue to just God knows

(chorus)
Don’t stop your dreaming
for it is almost here
Don’t stop your struggling
for it is almost here

How short our time, while we survive
on thoughts we’ve shared while we’re alive
A bond we’ve made, from distant shores
of ‘who are you’ to ‘yes of course’

(chorus)

The storm of storms has engulfed the world
as the King of Kings has so foretold
the sand will shift, and winds will blind
the end will come, and we’ll be fine

The hurricane visits rich and poor
razing the land, ‘till it leaves no more
and in the end life must go on
the new begins and old is gone

(chorus)

In stillness our feelings come
likes waves of the sea to break us down
what once did crash must soon lose shape;
the sadness is not our fate

(chorus)
