Across the Water

I started out the way most do
 Running on imagination
 Out into a world that I was sure I knew
 Add a dose of reality
 And a little desperation
 I became a stranger in a stranger land
 Wherever I go, whatever I see
 I still can feel the child carry me
 High on an ocean of innocence
 'Cause somewhere between
 The truth and the dream
 There is a moment in time
 When you can touch what you left behind
 Across the water
 Across the water
 Across the water
 On a little higher ground
 And so it goes with everyone
 We're not really all that different
 The older that we get
 it seems the less we know
 We mortals all immortalize
 After we apologize for
 all the things we should have said
 or could have done
 Wherever I go, whatever I see
 I still can feel teh child carry me
 High on an ocean of innocence
 Cause somewhere between
 The truth and the dream
 There is a moment in time
 When you can touch what you left behind
 Across the water
 Across the water
 Across the water
 On a little higher ground
 The way we were the dreams we had
 Don't ever really die
 They watch us from a distance
 as we say good bye
 But now and then a backwards glance
 Reminds us that there's still a chance
 So we fill our sails and travel on
 Across the water
 Everyday in every life
 Is onpen to interpretation
 Thinking about what might have been
 is a waste of time
 I don't need to analyze
 All my little contradictions
 As long as I can find my way
 back home again
 Across the water
 Across the water
 Across the water
 On a little higher ground
