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
