Lying in your boat, you started floating away
On dancing through the rapids, your body tossed and swayed
Out to the open sea you sailed
Your tiny silhouette unveiled
You and your little boat
You met the world today
Past foreign cities and carnival lights
And shipyard docks and the Isle of Wight
You and your little boat
You saw the world today
Watching the sea and contemplating
Waiting for a revelation
And waiting and waiting and then
Waking one quiet day your boat had drifted ashore
At the base of a hill you'd never seen before
You climbed the slope, it stretched on upward
But your feet sunk into the ground and they slipped hard
And you fell
And you fell
The clouds blow, the ships sail
Do you stay the same?
The waves splash, the birds wail
Do you feel the same?
The shore moves, the lights change
Is it all the same?
The planes fly, the sky rains
Does life look the same?
Does life look the same?
Does life look the same?
On dancing through the rapids, your body tossed and swayed
Out to the open sea you sailed
Your tiny silhouette unveiled
You and your little boat
You met the world today
Past foreign cities and carnival lights
And shipyard docks and the Isle of Wight
You and your little boat
You saw the world today
Watching the sea and contemplating
Waiting for a revelation
And waiting and waiting and then
Waking one quiet day your boat had drifted ashore
At the base of a hill you'd never seen before
You climbed the slope, it stretched on upward
But your feet sunk into the ground and they slipped hard
And you fell
And you fell

Do you stay the same?

Do you feel the same?
The shore moves, the lights change
Is it all the same?
The planes fly, the sky rains
Does life look the same?
Does life look the same?
Does life look the same?
