Jen Kwok - Desert to the Sea Lyrics

Sitting on the front porch you know you'll never get enough
You don't have much, but don't give up
Underneath the stars you never felt so beautiful
And so wrong, in this small town
But wait, child wait
Your turn is coming slowly
But don't believe me

You want something to mend, and darn it all
The world's got problems, you want them solved
Your limbs will take you far away
But don't forget this heart
That small town gave to you
But don't believe me

So read your books and your magazines
Someday they will carry you into the sea
But don't believe me, don't believe me
And some will fly and some will fall
But it's better to have tried than not at all
And if you feel the fear, and you feel like a fool
Then all you have to do is choose

And kiss your mama and your papa goodbye
They're not accustomed so their eyes stay dry
But they will love you all their lives
And they'll dream for you
So all you have to do is choose and wait
But don't believe me

You can go from the desert to the sea
But don't believe me
Don't believe me

You can go from the desert to the sea
But don't believe me
Don't believe me
