lyrics

I've been on this ship for so long
started out on a prayer and a song
but that was in another life

We set out to face our darkest fears
now we're running from the broken years
but this trip it just won't end

The summer's off to the northeast sky
as we hang around we don't question why
our fates are sealed to the stars and dust
cause it's only hope or the sea before us
the sea before us

Now we drift far off some distant shore
sometimes I call in my sleep "I just can't take it no more"
I just want to go home

So, send word to the one’s I love and left behind
all I can say is believe me I tried and I tried
to make us a better life

The summer's off to the northeast sky
we hang around we don't question why
our fates are sealed to the stars and dust
cause it's only hope or the sea before us

The morning comes we'll struggle on
to keep our faith that we belong
to the jet stream winds to the howling storm
to the forward rush
and the sea before us

the sea before us.
