I am just a boy from the western shore
I've weathered no winters and suffered no storms
To pass the time I sit at the docks as the ships go by
Wishing that I am there on the open sea
I shuffle back home with my heart in tow
Wanting to be anywhere but here
My friends have come and gone but still I linger on
Still stuck behind at the start
I like to read about the lives that I can't live
To free my mind about the heartaches and goodbyes
Now I've made up my mind about what I'm gonna find
I'll see you again when I know love
When I know love
Then I'll come home
When I know love
Then I'll be home
Step aboard, my boy, and you'll find what you're looking for
I will show you the way to find a home
And all that you've known, you can throw it over the side
All that you need now, my son, is to keep an open mind
And now the rolling sea will carry us far and wide
Make sure to pay heed to all the creatures here in sight
We must ask them where Captain Nemo rides
Before we are swallowed up by Posedine's raging tide
And now the storm will break this old ship in two
We must say goodbye to Mister Quint's ride
This is as close, my boy, as this boat can you
But I'll take your money if you'll be so kind
And now, I am alone
I am lost, with nowhere to go
Is there anyone out there to hear my call?
Is there anyone at all who can take me home?
Take my hand, good friend, and stand
The time for rest is not yet at hand
Venture on till the dawn, you are not truly gone
Love will come to you, and you've already begun
Never give in to what has been that can make you fall
What you want is ahead of you, and it's back at the start
And as he walked the lonely road
The end begun to unfold
The sky grew red as the Holy Rose
The pipers stopped their tune
And sang out the final blues
As the flames hurled down
But the boy stood his ground
And prepared for the fallout
And the boy and the flame were one
And the boy and the flame were one
