When I’m travelling far from home
On the white horizon,
I can feel you’re still around,
And the dream overtakes me.
Then I know
You’ll stay in this moment
We’ll go where its flowing.
You’ll be what you want to be
Right here with me.
When I’m out here on my own,
And it all cuts through me.
I see you’re safe alone,
Oh then it hits me.
And I know
You’re here in this moment,
Right where its flowing.
You are what you want to be
Right here with me.
Stay in this moment.
Go where its flowing.
You are what you want to be
Right here with me.
