EmH
The sun is rising
GC
My shadow is getting shorter
EmH
I'm chasing the horizon
CD
Trying to cross that border.
EmH
Been to all the time zones
GC
From the Poles to the tropics
EmH
I'm chasing the horizon
CD
Feeling so myopic.
EmH
Twenty five thousand miles
GH
Multiplied several times
GH
That's the length of my way
CD
Full of precipices and heights,
EmH
Falls and climbs, good signs,
GC
Strange harbingers and bad prophets
EmH
My footprints cover the planet
CD
From the Poles to the tropics.
EmHG
I keep on wandering like Ahasuerus
CEm
My trip is hazardous.
HC
The sun is rising again like Saint Lazarus
EmH
And as it's rising
GC
My shadow is getting shorter
EmH
I'm chasing the horizon
CD
Trying to cross that border...
Chorus:
EmH
But the faster I try to run
CH
The farther away it gets.
C
Forgot where the start was.
CD
Can't see where I'm going.
EmH
This work will never be done
CH
And it makes no other sense.
GC
The start and the finish
EmH
Are two sides of the same coin.
The sun is dying
The dark is getting stronger
I’m chasing the horizon
Trying to cross that border
Realistic imagination
Spiritually captivated
Lost in your creation
My existence uncomplicated
The universe is aligned, purposefully designed
Guiding me through the nights.
The great unknown to the great divide
I realize. They’ve lied! The sign is illuminated.
Finding significance
Again spiritually captivated
Even if they say I’ve imagined this
Then who can fathom this?
I’ve been to the end of the world and back again
So I’ll keep trying
When the dark is getting stronger
To capture the horizon
Even if I never cross that border
Chorus:
But the faster I try to run
The farther away it gets.
Forgot where the start was.
Can't see where I'm going.
This work will never be done
And it makes no other sense.
The start and the finish
Are two sides of the same coin.
