I'm drifting, I am dreaming, lost at sea yet still believing
There's a harbour on the shoreline and someday she will find me
My life's a sea of changes, can't control the storm that rages
I can't hold on, I can't let go as I fight to hold my course

I'm a ship and I'm lost on the ocean
Back and forth on the waves of emotion
Then just above the ocean's roar
I see the light from a distant shore
There you wait just beyond the horizon
Lying there as the pale moon is rising
You are all my heart beats for, I see my future tonight
In the light from a distant shore

I set out on this journey, promised you I'd be returning
Days stretch into weeks, stretch into years and still I wander
What is this aimless mission, this empty dream that keeps me wishin'
When all I want, when all I need is to hold you in my arms

I'm a ship and I'm lost on the ocean
Back and forth on the waves of emotion
Then just above the ocean's roar
I see the light from a distant shore
There you wait just beyond the horizon
Lying there as the pale moon is rising
You are all my heart beats for, I see my future tonight
In the light from a distant shore

Now the heat of the sun's beating down like a drum
And I've had no fresh water for days
You're the vision of hope that helps me to cope with the pain
Your love's a candle burning
Your love's a beacon bright
Even in the heart of darkness
I see the light

I'm a ship and I'm lost on the ocean
Back and forth on a sea of emotion
Then just before I give up all
I see the light from a distant shore
There you wait just beyond the horizon
Lying there as the pale moon is rising
You are all I'm living for, I see my future tonight
In the light from a distant shore
I see my future
You're my life
