There is something inside of us all
thats wondering where we're gonna go
when all the lights are turned down low
lately the news is weighing me down
i get confused, whats life all about
im ready for some answers now

what if i keep my eyes on you
could i sail across the ocean blue
and the sun will guide me through
if i go, yes i know, im headin home

once upon a time when i was so young
lookin back at all the things i've done
i wonder if you were around
cause my family prays with all their hearts
that i could change, and im ready to start
thinkin it over

what if i keep my eyes on you
could i sail across the ocean blue
and the sun will guide me through
if i go, yes i know, im headin home

and wouldn't it be nice
if you could look twice
and watch the sunset
just one more time
and wouldn't it be nice

if i should die before i wake
i'd pray the lord my soul to take
