i'm on a journey to reach the great waters, where i've never been
i don't know the roads, but i know the direction i'm traveling in
i want to watch the mighty waves crashing before i die
to know just how great, how big is the ocean and how small am i

this burden is light, i journey along on my own two feet
with only enough, just a meal to share with whomever i meet
my home is behind but i know i will reach there at my journey's end
i'm in the unknown but i know i am never without a true friend

i know i must go through those far blue mountains and what's in between
and when the night falls i'll walk by the starlight and by the moonbeams
though valleys may come and shadows may fall across my way
i'll reach to the heavens and lift up my voice in praise come what may

will you come with me to lose your life going where you've never been
are you one who's willing to gain your life seeking what you've never seen
this is the journey, this is the purpose - the great rolling sea
to know just how great, how big is the ocean and how small are we.

this is the journey, this is the purpose - the great rolling sea
