Carry Me Away

I wish to brave the sea of hopes
But I am scared of drowning
I hope to learn to swim one day
And make my dreams come true

And yet I know - that wish is foolish
Like whims of kids not over three
I know I’d tie a weight around my neck
And drown as fast as birds are free

But maybe that’s where I belong
The ocean depths, I mean
Perhaps forgotten and alone
I’ll find out what I truly need

I take a breath and dive right in
To drown or not - I’ll let the ocean pick
The waves, they carry me away
To where - I’ll never know
