Why these cloudy eyes my friend, these thoughtful frowning brows
I’m afraid to lose again what’s only just been found
Why is everybody so sad I ask and look at you
Just don’t forget what you love, you say, it is the only truth
Then you point at the horizon, that’s where we belong
Face towards a line that draws a promise to move on for
Cause we are the hopeful ones we are destined to see
The beauty of what is now and what is still to be
Will you always remind me of how to sing out loud
I can hardly hear my heartbeat now, muted by the old doubts
Oh say all’s not lost there’s a place for us of sea breeze, fires and trees
There is kindness and there’s friends around
And music, always music
Do you see the horizon, that’s where we belong
Face towards a line that draws a promise to move on for
Cause we are the hopeful ones we are destined to see
The beauty of what is now and what is still to be.
