Craig Owen – A Distant Shore Lyrics

A Distant Shore

How do we measure the life that we live?
By the things that we take or the things that we give?
By the people who hurt or the people who care?
By the love that we lose or the love that we share?

Chorus
Keep your eyes on a distant shore
You know there is some thing more
keep your eyes on a distant shore to help
To help you carry on
Keep your face turned to the stars
You know the dawn is not too far
Keep your face turned to the stars
To help you carry on

Each breath that we take is a gift from above
We can use it to hate or use it to love
We can bind up the wounds or strike a new blow
We can build a new world or run down the old

When you’re lost and confused and you can’t find your way
And the pain is so great that you can’t even pray
There’s a voice in the darkness
like gentle starlight
A whisper of dawn
In the endless night
You may not grasp it
But you know that its there
You see its spark
Every time that you care
