So We Try (To See O'er The Horizon) Lyrics

We've weathered storms and we've weathered calm

Been at the crest of the wave and down deep in the trough

But in storm or calm the sea has always been the same

Relentless, indifferent, uncaring, unaware of, Us

The motes that ride on its swell

We are spirit encased in this form

Seemingly adrift here on the sea of time

Swimming round and round, trying this way and that

To get control of our lives, treading water

But the tide moves us all in just one direction

Inexorably, unyieldingly, towards the far shore

And we fear what's at the end of the ride

So we try to see o'er the horizon

To get a glimpse of what is waiting there for us

Oh, how I wish, I had a boat, with a big mast to climb

The eternal cycle of everyone travelling

Towards the next shore, together yet feeling apart

Oblivious of what's just over the horizon

Looking back, looking forward

But rarely here in all there is

The eternal moment of now

I know there are infinite seas to swim in

On waiting worlds, some yet uncreated

Some days I feel like a child, playing for hours without a care

And the days are long and the sun always shines

I get tired quicker nowadays sometimes I only tread water

Just about keep my head in the air

So we try to see o'er the horizon

To get a glimpse of what is waiting there for us

Oh, how I wish, I had a boat, with a big mast to climb

So we try to see o'er the horizon

To get a glimpse of what is waiting there for us

Oh, how I wish, I had a boat, with a big mast to climb
