Wherever We Go
Eddie Berman Lyrics

I was Ishmael
I was alone, like the character from Moby Dick

Alone in time
I didn't have any connection with people of my era

I didn't know a soul, not even mine
I was disconnected from everything including myself

You'll find me frozen
I was stuck, couldn't move or progress

In the seaport wind
In a place that was meant for movement and progress

When you picked me up
When you came into my life and offered me support

And you took me in
And you allowed me to be part of your life

And I was barely hanging on
I was in a bad state and needed help

You said, "Kid it aint you, these times've gone wrong."
You told me it wasn't my fault, the world was just in a difficult period

So take what you've got
Let's use what we have to go forward

We're leaving here at dawn
It's time to start fresh and embark on a new journey together

How you gunna stay?
How are you going to survive?

Safely through the storm?
Safe from all hardships and struggles?

Hand in hand, we'll keep eachother warm
We'll support and comfort each other through tough times

How you gunna stay
How will you remain stable?

In seas you've never known?
In uncharted, unfamiliar territories?

Hand in hand we'll always be home
We'll make a home wherever we go, as long as we're together

And our ancient ships shook on the tide
We faced difficulties during our journey, like sailors of the past

Cuz we borded the boat and we tangled the tides
We braved the challenges and took control of our destiny

And I'd laugh and have the other mast at rise
I'd face the struggles with a positive attitude, while enduring the hardships

And in a couple of days the head winds came
After some time, new challenges emerged

With it's wicked ways and it's violent rays
These challenges were difficult and harmful

Stared straight in it's and lively sang:
Nevertheless, I confronted them with gusto

Hand in hand there'll aleays be hope
With each other's support, we can overcome any difficulty

Now it's been ages
After a long time has passed

And I'm all that's left
Everyone else has moved on, and I'm the only one left standing

With my calloused hands
My hands have become rough and tough due to the struggles they've faced

And my ears half deaf
I've faced so much noise and chaos, my hearing has been affected

Still I hear it beating
Despite everything, my heart still beats with hope and optimism

Like the drums of war
As if anticipating the next battle

Every time I stand on any shoulder
Every time I face new challenges

Hand in hand we'll always be home
We'll always have a home as long as we have each other
