We ran from forest to cliff edge From cities through fields To where we stood now breathless. Your eyes caught mine, such sorrow I saw beneath the reflections The moonlight cast the tree’s its shadows Drifting with the wind intertwined. We followed the light of the east coast harbour And sought salvation in the stars Can it ever be ours? The choices and decisions? Are we all but just who we are Made from the opinions and thoughts of Everyone who surrounds us? Our friends are all we are worth Worth nothing without them And I knew you needed this To escape from what you had built To get away from all that you knew. And its only pride that has got you this far alone But it can’t stay like this forever We all fall to our knees In search of something greater We all lose sight of where we’re going. You left the world behind and I followed In the search for who we were We found each other’s hands in the darkest of lands And we travelled back towards our friends To the place where our eyes and hearts called home
