Lyrics

Let your mind wander,
Look beyond the shadows.
Focus on the skyline,
Read the silhouettes.
Your deepest desires
Are a picture of tomorrow.
All your darkest fears
Are just a vestige of regret.

And it's wo-oh oh oh,
It seems like such a long way to go.
As obstacles get bigger,
Prevailing winds blow stronger
And the fire continues to grow

Don't let shallow water
Limit your perception.
Heed the new horizon,
Muster to it fast.
The moments of your yesterdays
Are in the wake behind you.
You can't assess the future
If you're living in the past.

Keep it stoked!

If you are committed
To a life of understanding,
Then there's no agenda
For vengeance in your life.
Sharpen all your senses,
Face the opposition.
You can overcome
With fortitude and mental might.

And it's wo-oh oh oh,
It seems like such a long way to go.
As obstacles get bigger,
Prevailing winds blow stronger
And the fire continues to grow
In your soul,
So be bold, let it grow.
Don't let it die,
Let it burn!

No One Guest Location: Global Citizen	Quote This is the first (and hopefully last and only) "self help" song that BR has ever come out with. Basically this song preaches belief in self, a life of understanding and other affirmations which I do agree with, but I do not expect or care for in a BR song. It sounds like something I would hear at a graduation ceremony. 07/20/2004 at 23:06 This is the first (and hopefully last and only) "self help" song that BR has ever come out with.

Grasshopa Guest Location: Global Citizen	Quote I think this is about going with your gut feeling, because even if you're wrong, at least you'll satisfy the feeling. Just stick in there and let the feeling grow. 07/17/2004 at 12:02 I think this is about going with your gut feeling, because even if you're wrong, at least you'll satisfy the feeling.
