Horizon
Ferrin & Morris & Hysteria! Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you could tell me all about tomorrow
I'd refuse
Half the sun is seeing what's to follow
The unknown and the new, oh

Cover my eyes, lead me blind
I trust in you
So follow my guide, see the light

Each step defines

Cos there is more for us to see...
A ray of light on the horizon...
And there is more for us to be...
Just beyond this horizon...

Cos there is more for us to see...
A ray of light on the horizon...

And there is more for us to be...
Just beyond this horizon...
