lyrics

He was drifting through the world solo
Like a ship without a sail
Letting mighty waves and winds show the way
He was dreaming of the far places
Where nobody knew his name
Where he could go a bit insane
Let the rain wash his memories away

Chartless places would remind him of the life
He was meant to live
No more weariness, no more dreariness
Every day's a miracle
He would keep his eyes wide open

He'd been carrying his past so long
It grew heavy over time
Not a chance to travel light in this life
He was following the stream so strong
Ever waiting for a sign
But even if he cut the knot
Still he's got so much left to redefine

Chartless places would remind him of the man
He was meant to be
No more weariness, no more dreariness
Every day's a miracle
He would keep his eyes wide open
