looking for something

on an ocean voyage
to a distant harbor i came
looking for something
yet everything seemed the same
i tried to stay but couldn't remain
i saw mountain peaks
and heard the thunder roar
felt the weight of a lifetime
crushing me to the floor
adding nothing new
more grey blackness and blue
but when i thought of you, wings grew
on my feet, i sailed dancing into the street
thinking "This is pretty neat!"
i laughed with everyone i'd meet
so i thought of you more than twice
rolled you over like a gambler's pair of dice
and found a winning number
woke up from my single slumber
on an ocean voyage
into a distant harbor i came
looking for something
yet everything seemed the same
i tried to stay but couldn't remain
i saw mountain peaks
and heard the thunder roar
felt the weight of a lifetime
crushing me to the floor
but when i thought of you, wings grew
on my feet, i sailed dancing into the street
thinking "This is pretty neat!"
