Follow the Horizon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I packed a compass in a paper bag A faded map with a stubborn tear The harbor bells kept calling me back But something wider was waiting out there [Pre-Chorus] I know the tide can turn without warning I know the blue can hide what I fear But every dawn has been quietly forming A road that begins when I steer [Chorus] I’ll follow the horizon past the last known shore Carry what I’ve learned and leave the rest at the door If the world is bigger than the stories I know I’ll meet it with an open heart and see where I go I’ll see where I go [Verse 2] The village roofs grew small behind me The salt wind tugged at my sleeve I heard the names that people gave me Then chose the one I came to believe [Pre-Chorus] There may be storms on the water before me There may be nights when the stars disappear Still every step writes a new kind of story And turns the unknown into something sincere [Chorus] I’ll follow the horizon past the last known shore Carry what I’ve learned and leave the rest at the door If the world is bigger than the stories I know I’ll meet it with an open heart and see where I go I’ll see where I go [Bridge] Let the rain redraw the path beneath my feet Let the distant drums remind me I am free I am not the sum of every place I’ve been I am the question, and the answer starts within [Final Chorus] I’ll follow the horizon past the last known shore Carry what I’ve learned and leave the rest at the door If the world is bigger, let it open wide I’ll meet it with an open heart and nothing left to hide I’ll follow the horizon, whatever it shows With a brave little flame and a heart that still knows The farthest I can travel begins where I stand So I’ll go with the tide and discover the land [Outro] I’ll see where I go I’ll see where I go
