lyrics

Sea of Hope
by Rob Roper © 2010

Mistakes are necessary
so I'm gonna make some
This life of comfort is
a life of boredom
Everybody says
"You've got it made"
But even the best zoo is
still a cage

Chorus
Sailing on a sea of hope
Bailing out this leaky boat
Set the sail, catch the wind
Won't be coming back here again
Won't be back here again

Tired of living
in the slow lane
Tired of saying
another wasted day
The radio plays
the same old songs
I've got to do something
even if it's wrong

Chorus

Bridge:
The sand is falling...
The sand is falling...
down the hourglass...

Chorus
