The undercurrent is stronger today. This time it's different I'll keep it at bay. Who am I kidding I dial the number anyway. I feel it for a moment, yeah for a moment.
I'm walking down the empty streets we used to know. With all those teenage dreams of conquering the world. In between the boats along the quay. Same old river staring back at me.
Flotsam and Jetsam. Always at the mercy of the ocean. Drawn on the trade winds. Gathered up and swallowed by the motion. High hopes and young dreams. Unrequited love, misplaced devotion.
There's a boy in trouble. Reaching for a piece of the sky. . Clawing at the wreckage. Sending out a message. Dying to get back to the light. . Lost in time.
There's a photograph in celluloid. Some little boy. A sweet sad paragraph. I wrote in the school magazine. And if I close my eyes. And it all comes back to me.
You gave me solid gold. But to my touch, it felt cold. You gave me something real. I saw sorcery, I saw alchemy. . God I was lonely. Stuck in my own skin.
You've been knocked out, come around. Shot down, shattered on the stoney ground. You'll take it from me, it's how it'll be. Your dreams will come true, fall through.

I, I remember you. You are really me. Standing in the sea. . Watching as the waves. End your happy days. Many moons ago. And longer than you know. . Yeah if I close my eyes.
it's such a beautiful world. So why do I feel so down?. I should be heading for somewhere. instead of spinning around, round, round. I'm flying out of control.
Is this the end or the calm before the storm?. Is this the wind we used to fly on?. It spins the dust where once it whistled through the corn. The barren ground as hard as iron.
Coming home the longer route. I'm kicking off my heavy shoes. And sitting by the fire. Reminded of the time gone by. When you and I would laugh and fight.
Every year I go back home. Down old familiar roads I've known. The fire lights a memory. The pictures on the mantel piece. Faces locked in photographs.
It's easy to think we're screwed. Reading the front page news. Swimming a sea of deals. Ain't gonna sooth our fears. . Look to the million lights. Shimmering satellites.
Down every road we come. Through driving snow we come. All running on empty. But still dying to make it home. In spite of everything. Two simple truths we cling.
I'm no longer a slave to fear. Oh, I am a child of God. . I'm no longer a slave to fear. Oh, I am a child of God. . You unravel me with a melody. You surround me with a song.
