Floating Away

Sitting here on my boat. Watching life pass as I float Fires burning everywhere i can see Can't touch me All the hate Hope its not our fate Maybe its to late For all the people on land They dont seem to understand This isn't how it should be I only want to be on the sea We don't need to be this way But from what everyone has to say Hate seems to be the way I'm crazy Maybe a little lazy Getting away from it all Seems mankind is starting to fall All they do is fight Fires burning into the night Riots going on so long This is so wrong We've lost our song We are lost Humanity is the cost I want to sail away No where on land is a safe place to stay I try not to get involved with this hate We need a clean slate Sail away to some distant place While everyone falls from grace Take my boat And gently float To a place no man can go Take life slow Never see another soul Thats my goal Find peace in my heart Thats where I need to start No one around Get away from the sound Head for the sea That's where I want to be One plus one always equals hate Is it to late Can I ever be free From all the hate i see. Makes me cry I dont know why Mankind turns their back on love A gift from above Leave all land Cause I dont understand Why we have to fight It isn't right. Lost in sorrow. Maybe in some tomorrow We will find our way back Stop this hateful attack Before its too late Mankind has pushed to far Its leaving its scar Who will survive all this hate Stop before its to late I'll sail far To leave behind, this scar In search of what I dont know A place where hate doesn't show
