lyrics

finding an island
that's over a distant horizon
it's like nothing you've felt before
because it left you more
alive with the freedom to see

all you wanted to be
all you wanted to be
is free

like an albatross wandering
you cast a circular shadow
you can choose to step through it
or into the cool of its shade
but won't change what you need

all you wanted to be
all you wanted to be
is free

cresting a wave feels like
flying up high to the blue sky
as you reach for the stars
the sea below parts
and brings you a new wave to climb

all you wanted to be
all you wanted to be
is free

and nothing is all that is free
is that what you hoped it would be
becalmed on an ocean too still to upset
the slow motion of becoming
lesser and less
than the person you knew
who could reach for the heavens
and dance with the stars
and who knew how it feels
when you're

finding an island
that's over a distant horizon
it's like nothing you've felt before
because it left you more
alive with the freedom to see

all you wanted to be
all you wanted to be
is free

all you wanted to be
all you wanted to be
is free
