1.
I will sail across the sea To find the answers that I seek To find the truth out in the deep Leave behind both friends and home Sail into the world unknown Live the life I’ve longed to know
2.
The Tide 02:31
I was born by the sea, ocean air in my lungs and the tide at my feet And the tide calls to me to sail out into the deep And if I fall into the deep, I'm coming home the tide will carry me The tide will carry me home Lullabies and your eyes are calling me home and I can't ignore The denial that I saw in your smile when I set out into the unknown And if I fall into the deep, I'm coming home the tide will carry me The tide will carry me home I'm coming home The tide will carry me home
3.
Stories 03:15
There is a story that you hold That is waiting to be told Out on the sea away from home in a world you don’t know Close your eyes and realize Now is the time to be alive All you’ve seen and all you know Are only stories you’ve been told So go chase a world of your own And watch your story unfold
4.
Lost 03:06
There’s gotta be something for me in the world out there If only I could get past my doorstep I had never heard the call of the world beyond the shore But your words spoke to me and now my heart yearns for more There’s more than what I know I’ll be lost till I find you I know there are answers out there for me to find I will sail the ocean blue to find the truth There’s more than what I know I’ll be lost till I find you I know I’m lost in a world alone I will be lost until I find my home
5.
They were sure you did not exist You were just a legend and a myth A little white lie mothers told their kids To keep them safe from the dangers of the deep Until the day you made history When you washed up on the beach And unravelled a mystery What lies beneath? What’s hiding in the deep?
6.
Through the fog I can see The light as it breaks through to me In the cold we are clenching our teeth We feel the mist off the sea With each passing wave I clench my teeth tighter again And ponder the change the sea tends to make With each passing day and each passing wave I wish I had known, wish that I had really known you The way I should have known you The ocean breeze It seems to speak to me I feel I’m getting closer I’ve crossed the sea to know your heart, and I know it’s not that far I’ve know the way you lived your life, and I know I want to live mine
7.
The Storm 01:40
I feel the rain on my skin as the darkness closes in And the waves pull me down I’m getting closer now Do your best to make it home tonight Do your best to make it home
8.
I’ll keep trying to keep my head above the water As long as you keep holding on I’ll keep fighting for as long as I have strength left But I doubt that I’ll be long Into the deep and onto the stars Sing me to sleep when I cross the bar If you love me let me go You and I fought long and hard we fought a good fight And I am not ashamed Of who I am or where I’ve been or where I’m going No I am not afraid, as I go Into the deep and onto the stars Sing me to sleep when I cross the bar If you love me let me go I've been longing for my home Look into my eyes I just need to hear you say goodbye It’s been a long, long night I just need to hear you say goodbye and goodnight
9.
Cold and lost in the ocean in a world I've come to know As this ship sinks into the water and leaves me all alone Stars break through the clouds and shine down on this last night of my life As I fight not to drown, as I fight to survive And the ocean pulls me under In its fierce unyielding grasp As my future's torn asunder I feel your heart at last The storm rages on after I'm gone And the ocean forgets me I am calm as the storm rages on My story goes on And the ocean forgets me and pulls me under In its fierce unyielding grasp As my future's torn asunder I feel your heart at last And the currents pull me deeper Into the depths of the sea I know my story will continue As the ocean forgets me
10.
I have a world to hope for, that I’ve never seen, but somehow I know The ocean waves are guiding me onwards, to that far off place where I long to go The ocean held me And took me for its own And the tide carried me home To the sea of glass and fire That I saw in your life When I first felt the tide Calling me to go This world is here for the waiting and the hopeful out on the sea Find your heart in the journey, into the ocean, into history The songs you sing will never die, the life you lived keeps you alive, your story begins after the end
11.
Late night I see your eyes Searching for something you won’t find I am creation and destruction Both a beginning and an end I am creation and destruction I will bring you home again So here is hope for every sailor Who leaves home in search of more I will be there when it’s over I’ll bring you home after the war So when you reach your final chapter And you round your final bend I will meet you at the finish I’ll bring you home after the end
12.
In the beginning and the end The world goes without me In the beginning and the end I ask myself the question How will I be remembered The colours fade As the tide takes me away The colours fade But the memories remain
