We came from a place where things were bad
They were so bad
We left all we had where things were bad
All that we had
We ran for the hills
Ran like the wind
'Til we were sore
Continued in search of a new world
The places we were from, cities and streets
Not unlike yours
The places we would go, people we'd meet
All so fear-filled and
Life would never last so hard and fast
Bound by the fear
Bound by the past
It was not our world
So we sailed on the feather of a bird
And we held on and headed for a world
With the setting Sun's light to guide our way
We'd never reach the ground
On this never-ending perfect day
Sometimes I recollect that day
And I'm so glad we
Chose to run away
'Cause life is so impermanent and small
And time too short
To waste our time at all
So if you feel as you listen to these words
That life's more than fits inside this word
Then sail!
