I stood at the shores
Knowing all there is to know
Nothing to explore
When you’ve seen all there is to show
Out on the horizon
A shock of lightning strikes
I must venture out again
To see what’s come to life
Staring me down
Was a kind I’d only dreamed
A renegade, a seed of chaos
Planted at our feet
No regard for those before
He swiftly left behind
Those who refused to engage,
Who said we’d lost our minds
The water crashing down upon us
The madness of the crowd stayed focused
With destiny, I was anointed
As I took up my arms to join them
Ready to set sail again,
My mind was set ablaze
Finally, a reason to
Get back out on the waves
Failure seemed impossible
I didn't care about the odds
With our energy to hold us
I could finally take my shot
Through it all he stayed right with us
Until it seemed something was different
I looked to either side and noticed
Somewhere along the line, he’d left us
The ideals I once had seen
began to fade away
The unity I felt
had turned to hollow energy
The sounds I'd heard have changed
Yet the wind proceeds to blow
I’ve no choice but to stay the course
And keep sailing alone
All the storms you helped me to push through
Now I will keep sailing without you
This time the only thing I can do
Is try and keep sailing without you
I’ll keep sailing without you
