Great Unknown Lyrics
Does anybody see beyond the trees?
Does anybody get across the sea?
I was traveling to where I can't recall
I can't get back to you now
When everybody filled me up with pride
I was only looking for a place to hide
I am no statue a monument to raise
But I try my best these days
Funny how time doesn't mind
Who we keep and who we bear to leave behind
So into this great unknown
I will wander on my own
Will I ever stop imagining?
What if I have done things differently
And will you find it a corner in your heart
For me long after we part
Long after we part
Funny how time doesn't care
Who we love and who we wish we could repair
So into this great unknown
I will wander on my own
Does anybody see beyond the trees?
Does anybody get across the sea?
I was traveling to where I can't recall
I can't get back to you now
Get back to you now
Does anybody get across the sea?
I was traveling to where I can't recall
I can't get back to you now
I was only looking for a place to hide
I am no statue a monument to raise
But I try my best these days
Who we keep and who we bear to leave behind
So into this great unknown
I will wander on my own
What if I have done things differently
And will you find it a corner in your heart
For me long after we part
Long after we part
Who we love and who we wish we could repair
So into this great unknown
I will wander on my own
Does anybody get across the sea?
I was traveling to where I can't recall
I can't get back to you now
Get back to you now
