How far can you see, as you look across the sea? Do your eyes meet the setting sun with love?
Cast your gaze to the stars and the clouds in the sky, and surrender to the vastness above.
Hope is always a moment a way, slipping through the clutches of your outstretched hand;
Life spent picking up the pieces of the dreams you'd once planned.
The stratosphere turns as the world below goes along;
Heart wrenching memories of a future to which you belong.
Dusk spills over the horizon and the moon illuminates your face;
Dizzy with what could have been instead of what is now in place.
Swallowed by the dark, strain your eyes to see;
But ne'er through the bleak will you finally be.
Around each mountain, and through every high tide;
Will your heart beat smoothly, or will your path abide.
Running through the sand under supernova skies;
Can you escape the brambles of circumstance and lies.
The sun warms your skin and you're surrounded by a dream;
Of hope and love and life of light that truly makes you beam.
Stay in this bliss, but only for a moment, where serenity is all around;
Ripped away, torn from hope, back to where tears fall to the ground.
No gentle breeze to carry your spirit, no warmth behind your gaze;
Only disillusion of the mask that guides this maze.
Anger and confusion scream out into eternity for what is now gone lost;
Who's to blame you'd never guess, for every choice has a cost.
How far can you see as you look in front of you? Do your eyes focus in the gloom?
Cast your gaze to something steadfast, and surrender to the hope instead of doom.
