Distant Vision

(album: Somewhere To Elsewhere - 2000)

On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I saw the shore of a distant land where
Promise lay in wait
And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls
Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate

But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own,
I must rise

And I...will bear the light, (and the vision leads me onward)
That blind....men have their sight
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so

To the Kings I gave the mission, in the hope that they would share
In the joy of setting countless captives free
But the lust for Gold and power, is luring us away
From a calling that began in purity

And 'm still just a man, not worthy of this plan
With a strength that's not my own, I must rise

Now a tempest rages in my heart, as this fever furies on
Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers wait beyond their shore
Dream on...

Hungry eyes are standing on the sand, they beckon us to bring the tide
Sovereign hand must hold me now, I plead with you
Be my solace and my guide... by my side

And I...will walk with you
On the shores of the land ofpromise
That blind... men see you too
I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so
