Terra Incognita - Miles Away

standing at the edge of a prisoners' island,

far down south where the wild things grow

life or death, it’s a fragile line in this rugged land

that we call home

the bluest blues you will ever see,

red tracks lead the way, white sands stretch for days

these whitewash dreams steal your hear away

stare into the sun as it makes its way ‘round,

rising from the hills with a fiery glow

shines bright across the plains, sinking to the depths

where the wild things swim

waves roll from all around, raw ocean swell

crashing on the rocks, the shallow banks, that guard

these shores from bay to bay

look to the sky, look to the sea, define the visions in front of me

look to the stars, back to the sea,

searching for answers might set us free

in this land we call our home

with the dirt that stains our skin, and the salt that fills our lungs

it’s the land I call my home

the dirt on my skin and the salt in my lungs,

give me strength, solace inside

look to the sky, look to the sea, all of this beauty

surrounds you and me

look to the stars, back to the sea, searching for answers

will set us free

it’s our island in the sun, this is our island in the sun
