It's a struggle just to stay alive
A brute force wind keeps us huddled inside
While the ship is going under
The violence will tear us asunder

And the land is too far away, land is too far away
Would you, please, promise me
You'll come back to stay
Before you're too far away?

There's a time in every person's life
You think you've got it figured like 3-4-5
But now the city's burning down
To the sea or higher ground

But the sea is too far away, higher ground's far away
Would you, please, promise me
You'll come back to stay
Before you're too far away?

When the sea rises up to swallow you
The wind so cold it hollows you

A new day will dawn just to keep up the fight
In the end you'll know whether you were right
We were never going down for the count
We were always going all ten rounds
'Cause our dreams aren't too far away
Our dreams are not far away
Would you please promise me
You'll come back to stay?
You're never too far away
