I’ll wait for you old friend
It’s been so long again.
And as we travel on,
So, I’m told, it won’t be long.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

I’ll carry you once more
As we roll along this dusty floor.
I’ll see you safely there,
For I know, your dreams are near.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

As we see the shore
This year’s been hard, but there’ll be more.
I see the light of dawn
And as we march it matters not.
But know this brother
Soon we’ll be back home.

I feel there’s something in the air
It’s leading me to anywhere
I know the best is yet to come
I know we’re going to have some fun.
I hear the ocean at my feet
I hear Miami calling me
You say it’s warm this time of year
I say it’s time we disappeared
And we take our getaway.

So, let’s go round the world
To somewhere unfamiliar
I know there’s something in the sun
I know we’ve only just begun.

Let’s fly away for a year
Let’s be adventure pioneers
Head out to somewhere in the sun
Let’s go around the world.

Where to go? This is what I think,
Would you pour me another drink?
I’d like to go to Singapore
I’d like to learn to sing some more.
You really love your summer hair.

I like your skimpy underwear!
And you love the smell of sun cream
And I love the time we disappear
Just to make our getaway.

I wouldn’t mind dancing like we own the place,
Running from another race.
But you, wouldn’t see, prancing like you own the place.
Trying to fake a friendly face.
And I’m free,
singing for today
Singing all the same
I’m not yet far away.
But could it be I’m free?
Singing for today?
Singing all the same
I’m heading far away.

So, it wouldn’t dry. Find the time another day.
Fill the hole another way.
They’re asking how will it work?
Finally slip away again.
Trying to find my way again.
And I’m free…
Don’t follow me anywhere
Don’t say “how will I find my way back home?” today.
Nobody really knows me anyway
Don’t want to stay so I’m on my way from home, I’m far away.

Wake up and see a brand-new day
And wave my old life away
The sun now shines where there was dark
I see new hope, a little spark.

Lo and behold, another year
This time I feel nothing to fear
I set my sights out from the shore.

It feels like starting over
I get a little bit closer
To another adventure
I feel a change in the weather.

Wake up and see a new blue sky
Brush off all fear and any lies
The grass now grows never like before.

No one else around
Could lift me from the ground.
I’d lie here safe and sound
Like I had got nowhere to go.
Faith had come and gone,
Left nothing but a song
The world keeps rolling on and on and on.

But all I saw was you once more
And all my thoughts came flooding.

All that I had dreamed
Was always you and me.
You are all I’d ever want
All I’d ever want making memories.
All that we had seen
And all this left between
You are all I’d ever want
All I’d ever want standing next to me.

No one else besides
Could see me from the sky
You’d lift me, my oh my
And fly me off to worlds above.
Finally, it seems
You’re all I’d ever need
And I’ll that I had dreamed was rolling on and on and on.

He’s grown too big for his boots
Can’t swing a cat before he shoots
Fly over here, I’ll hide in there
Take a swig of beer and he’ll fly again,
To maybe who knows where?

So why don’t we take off and fly there?
Why don’t we fall in and dive out?
Why don’t we sit back again?

They’ve gone away and left the dog
Walk in and find he’d laid a log
Wake up the mail man’s stole your milk
We drink up. We all together will,
Not long, but still…

Have you ever heard
Of another faithful preacher
Telling all to adhere, cos they’re living the wrong way?
Were you told not to trust
Those with different skin to us
By some self-obsessed opinionist?
Well this is what I’d say.

It’s not the time or the place for what you’re saying
It’s not the day or the year.
Don’t bring your ugly thinking here.
Just stop the hurt that you’re hissing
And all the filth that you’re insisting.
It’s not the time or the place for what you’re preaching.

Do you ever feel
Love with conditions just isn’t real?
Have your friends been told that they pray to the wrong king?
Has it been said that you’re not trusted?
That your life don’t cut the mustard?
Well my friends, let’s stand together
Oh, and this is what we’ll sing.

This I know, to raise my soul
What I need is where you soar.
If I never leave this town
They might find me six feet underground.

So, take me on a journey with you.
Take my song on another with you.
I’ll be gone through rivers and trees.
Oh, won’t you take me on an adventure please?

All my angst. My restless reserve
All fades away when I’m on yonder hill.
So, take me wondering down unknown roads
It’s where they’ll see us fly from below.

So, take me on a journey with you.
Take my song on another with you.
We’ll be gone o’er mountains and streams.
Oh, won’t you take me on an adventure please?
