Well, it’s a long, long way from the ocean
a long, long way to the sea
all it would take is one small motion
I’m just trying to be free
I see a bird fly over the mountain
so high I can’t hear a sound
I’m stuck down here by the water
with the world going round and round
I see the world going round and round
I know where this road leads to now
out of this dark, black night
I live up here on the mountain
spend my time looking down at the ground
there’s no one here to talk to
some days I don’t even make a sound
So I move back to the city
I watch it all on TV
they want to sell me an ocean
and a boat I can put on the sea
This is no way to be free
there is no way to be free
I know where this road leads to now
out of the dark, black night
It’s a long, long way to the ocean
a long, long way to the sea
all it would take is one small motion
I’m trying to be free
I’m just trying to be free
