If I could burnish the sky with your smile tonight
It would be a guide for me upon the circuitous River Nile
As I am running away from the evils in the fray and I'll be free
In a way, in a way
From the crying of the miscreants aloft
Through the spirals off another tide, on I row upon your starlight
Emerge from the south lands
Safely flow through the canyon's pass
Forgetting oceans by and by
Amazed at what's come to fly
If we are running away from a desperate war they wage
Will we be free in a way, in a way?
Though the monsoons could disturb our perfect sleep
We'll cast them aside for a better day to keep
In a place with landscape set so far beneath
Will the reaches of our former ties betray our time living asunder?
As we're thrown headlong into the turbulence
Have we brought it upon ourselves?
This river surges, swallows our weary sighs
Embodying strife, those waves so far behind
We are running away from a world that can't be tamed
And we'll be fine, anyway, anyway
Beyond the white water, I can behold a calmer sea
As your shimmering cascades brighten my day
Show me the way, show me the way
