With only delusions of an endless journey
I am left with an ocean between you and me
An ocean between

Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
Of someone else's dream

Of someone else's dream

How many years have we waited
For a ship that never set sail?
How many years have we waited
For a ship that never set sail?

Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
Of someone else's dream
Is this your salvation?
Is this all you can give?
I will not stand in reflection
Of someone else's dream
