Sometimes when I start life to measure, I think about the things I wish I'd done. Who knows if there'll be any treasure To last beyond the fading of the sun?
Though sometimes I may fear I've lived in vain. I search for answers here While I remain.
Refrain:
For the truth lies in open skies and down by the sea. I will lay down, my soul is found, my spirit set free.
Strophe 2:
Sometimes when I start life to measure, I think about the things I wish I'd said. Mere words can change the course forever And fill the soul with life or deep regret.
Though sometimes I may fear What have I done. I know my journey here Has just begun.
Refrain (2x):
For the truth lies in open skies and down by the sea. I will lay down, my soul is found, my spirit set free.
