Hourglass - Homeward Bound Lyrics

I had to leave, I had to escape
that dreary life I led.
Its weight was crushing down upon me.

I had no place in mind when I left -
so I hit the road, headed west.
How the world just opened up
right before my eyes.

Is this all life is meant to be:
just another cog in the big machine?

This is the place, now is the time.
You'd better act now,
or life will pass you by.
What is the point if there's no joy inside?
A meaningless life is no life at all.

My vision was filled with water and sand.
Light danced across the shore.
And waves came crashing
as if they were greeting a friend.

Took off my shoes and went for a swim
The water called me on
I followed its melody,
plunged right into the unknown.

This is how life is meant to be
Just another dreamer living my dream.

This is the place, now is the time.
You'd better act now,
or life will pass you by.
What is the point if there's no joy inside?
A meaningless life is no life at all.
