lyrics

I sailed toward a new horizon and found a mysterious land
Surging from the waterfall, I saw the sun shine upon a glorious city
Now ashore, disembarking at the docks
In awe of such grandeur, as I walk through tremendous gates
 
Revealing a place of majesty 
This city’s unlike the one I ventured away from
 
Such an immaculate design
Great domes and towers with spires
Covered in white and gold
Circling statues and monuments
 
Everyday life goes on, civilisation prospers
Everywhere I look in this realm full of colour
 
Immersed in their culture, among a crowd of thousands
Everyone seems proud to share this blessed ground they walk upon
In the bustle of the marketplace locals are peddling their wares
Selling to whoever comes by, providing families with all they need
Others, who are free of duty, sit by a fountain reminiscing
Telling stories of the past, teaching their young ones of wrong and right
For a while I stroll under a colonnade where floors are paved with mosaic art
Between each column I find stunning views of land and sea
Could I belong here?

Utopia, it’s like I’m in a dream
Forever now this shall be my home
I look into the distance, a spectacle entices me over
Up ahead there’s a crowd gathering around, chanting
“Let the revelry commence!”
 
Waves of sound crescendo, bursting down these streets
Celebrations have begun
A congregation unites for a thrilling parade
All dancing to their own rhythm
 
Troupes of roving musicians play on and on
 
Merrily drinking with companions
Rejoicing in the moment
Embracing being alive
 
Entranced by such music
Inspiring the passion within
My spirits high I join the dance
 
Something is manifesting
Been shunned by those around me
A semblance of hostility
Alone I fall into a stupor
 
Just a spectre at the show
 
A stranger from the other side
Only wanted to belong, why didn’t I?
Was I even there? Did no one even care to see?
Left to reflect on my own
