Holiday

Richard Wright

It was meant to be a holiday

Building castles by the sea

Another way to live for you and me

Time to pause, consider what we've done

The wind is blowing, so come,

Let's take a holiday



How was I to know quite so soon

That dreams can turn a life,

Around it seems

There is no single way to live our days

Between these lines I know you see a man

Who's not quite sure who he is

Or where he stands



Sail on

Sail on, across the sea

Ride the waves, feel the breeze

Sail on

There's no other way I'd rather be



Destiny, reality are just a dream

Raise the sails, the wind is free

Every day I become more confused

Which way to go, how to choose



Back at home, what holds me here

Shut in not moving, only half a life

Clouds hang heavy, they leave me cold

It doesn't have to be this way

The wind is blowing, so come,

Let's take a holiday



Sail on

Sail on, across the sea

Ride the waves, feel the breeze

Sail on

There's no other way I'd rather be



Sail on

Sail on, across the sea

Ride the waves, feel the breeze

Sail on

There's no other way I'd rather be



Sail on

Sail on

Sail on

Sail on

There's no other way I'd rather be



Sail on

Sail on
