lyrics

I danced upon the shining shore,
As you sailed away from me,
Before I had the chance to quietly say,
I hope our courses meet one day.
The fabric of life will make you strong,
The things done right and the things done wrong.
To a distant land we all embark,
A journey through our light and dark.

We are immigrants to a life unlived,
As we received, so is our gift.
My voyage still travels through,
The seas that take me far from you.
I was there when you were newly made,
When all the hopes and dreams were laid,
When the sun shone so clear and bright.
And the world sparkled all with light.

So now your tasks is to set the sail,
Through which you can not ever fail,
To chart the course that’s bound to be,
Your life of serendipity, your life of serendipity.
I dreamed upon the shining shore,
You had left behind like those before,
Who turned there eyes to the distant view,
That now is reaching out to you.

We made no real plans for you,
Just hoped the sea would see you through.
(K)new horizons would one day call,
To you, as do they call to all.
We populate the lives we have yet to live,
By dreams, and all of those islands,
With which we make our own safe stepping stones,
Across the bitches and the foam,
Across the bitches and the foam.
