It's a story, a story often told
It's a memory, it's a memory of old
Where a child takes a step away from his land
Crosses a line drawn in the sand
He leaves a chapter of his story on the shelf
With the book laid open and some money for the rent
As he closes the door to the life he's been shown
He remembers the friends that he has known
Oceans Apart
Two halves of a beating heart
Close from the very start
Oceans Apart
Now he's here, not alone but still apart
With the final piece of the jigsaw that he started
When all is said and done and you find that special one
A new life will unfold
Sometimes at night, his dreams remind him
He's part of something so much more
That's the bond of friendship, not a bond that's makeshift
It's not bound by any shore
Oceans Apart
Two halves of a beating heart
Close from the very start
Oceans Apart
It's a story, a story often told
It's a memory, it's a memory of old
Where a child takes a step away from his land
Crosses a line drawn in the sand
Oceans Apart
Two halves of a beating heart
Close from the very start
Oceans Apart
Oceans Apart
Two halves of a beating heart
Close from the very start
Now Oceans Apart
