Lyrics
He only wants to be happy
But there are strange stirrings in the world
Tides that seem to pull him from what he loves
And push him towards his destiny
The boy looks up
A single seagull flies far above
He knows he can't stay here for much longer
The ocean beckons with a deep
AUM
His mother would worry
He hated that
But she would understand
She left, just like he did
A voyage across seas that he now echoes
Is it possible to be truly free?
Blurry visions of a brilliant future fuel his fire
And so he bundles what little possessions he has
& Swings a swag over his shoulder
He tells his Mother he'll write
His friends hold him in tight embrace and wish him well
He says goodbye to his lover
Perhaps they would meet again
And then he leaves without much hurrah
Quietly into the night
And heads for the Big Smoke..
