Far Away

Across the sea
From far away
I hear a voice
It calls my name

It beckons me
To come and see
The oceans blue
And fields of green

Wildflowers, red and free
Scattered around old olive trees
And still your voice entices me
"Please, my dear, run away with me!"

I look up,
see skies of grey
What keeps me here?
Why should I stay?

There's a whole new world,
Like in a dream,
Waiting just across the sea
A new life with adventure
Bursting from the seams

All around
What a shame
To live a life
Trapped in mundane

I hear my name
This time it's whispered
A haunting voice
insists and pleads
It floats, so soft, so sweet
And glides to me,
Across the seas

I run to the edge
I dive right in
Deciding now's the time I learn to swim
Determined to find my mythic friend
And discover this land on which he stands
Somewhere
Across the sea
