I started out the way most do Running on imagination Out into a world that I was sure I knew Add a dose of reality And a little desperation I became a stranger in a stranger land Wherever I go, whatever I see I still can feel the child carry me High on an ocean of innocence 'Cause somewhere between The truth and the dream There is a moment in time When you can touch what you left behind Across the water Across the water Across the water On a little higher ground And so it goes with everyone We're not really all that different The older that we get it seems the less we know We mortals all immortalize After we apologize for all the things we should have said or could have done Wherever I go, whatever I see I still can feel teh child carry me High on an ocean of innocence Cause somewhere between The truth and the dream There is a moment in time When you can touch what you left behind Across the water Across the water Across the water On a little higher ground The way we were the dreams we had Don't ever really die They watch us from a distance as we say good bye But now and then a backwards glance Reminds us that there's still a chance So we fill our sails and travel on Across the water Everyday in every life Is onpen to interpretation Thinking about what might have been is a waste of time I don't need to analyze All my little contradictions As long as I can find my way back home again Across the water Across the water Across the water On a little higher ground
