HISTORY DISSOLVES ON THE SHORE

If I could hold the golden sun

And I could catch the wind

If there was nowhere left to go

And nothing left to dream

I'd set sail across the sea

Pulled by the ivory wind

The promise of another coast

The shore of another dream

A white dove flies above me

My only tie to land 

She sings her songs of freedom to me 

Not fighting the course of the wind

The ocean covers over me

I take a deep breath in 

In the dark, I hear her breath 

The waves crashing down on the sand

The river has begun to flow

Silence settles over the golden coast

So many miles away from home

And I begin to dream

So much I took for granted

Before the storm touched land

How quickly history disappears

When water runs over the sand

Nothing here was meant to keep 

History dissolves on the shore 

Time is just a single breath

An island surrounded by water

A white dove flies above me

My only tie to land

She sings her songs of freedom

Not fighting the course of the wind

The white clouds move above us

We rise, then fall again

So many miles left to go

Before we touch land again

The ocean hushes me to sleep

I take a deep breath in 

In the dark, I hear her breath

In the silence, I understand.
