When you jump that ocean Conquering 10,000 miles to unite our hearts We shall find a place where the page meets the edge of the Pacific And invites us to leave the shortest of notes
The page is not limited by space For there is room to write a thousand books If we were to follow the coast From head to toe
Our only restriction is time The waves acting as the ticks of Earth's clock Spilling ashore every minute Erasing the letters we've drawn at our feet
So we must move without hesitation In the grain of a moment we've been given Finding our place Etching our mark
And after we are done Take my hand and do not watch As the waves reach forward To do time's work
When you jump that ocean
Conquering 10,000 miles to unite our hearts
We shall find a place where the page meets the edge of the Pacific
And invites us to leave the shortest of notes
The page is not limited by space
For there is room to write a thousand books
If we were to follow the coast
From head to toe
Our only restriction is time
The waves acting as the ticks of Earth's clock
Spilling ashore every minute
Erasing the letters we've drawn at our feet
So we must move without hesitation
In the grain of a moment we've been given
Finding our place
Etching our mark
And after we are done
Take my hand and do not watch
As the waves reach forward
To do time's work
