Lyrics

This life is like an island Surrounded by eternity You sailed away Much too soon on that sea Memory is a country Where I can go to see your face But where can I go? When I miss your embrace Like a ship out of water You left me waiting here Longing just to be with you The time will come when we cast off From the shore of all our fears And sail into the wild blue Wonder of heaven and you'll be there If you could be here now I think I know what you would say Don't cry for me I'm at home and I'm safe Let all the tears that fall here Turn to diamonds in God's hands Bright offerings From life's shadowlands Like a ship out of water You left me waiting here Longing just to be with you The time will come when we cast off From the shore of all our fears And sail into the wild blue Wonder of heaven and you'll be there
