Utopia From Afar

I found your footsteps in the river of love
I am bound to see the light from above
Shower me with fond radiance
Trapped in the forest of turbulence

I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar
I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar

I can't let go of you
You're a shimmering star,
Burning bright with all its might
Like you always do 
Like you always do

I'm falling into place in your elegant embrace
Yeah, I'm going through so many tribulations lately that aren't so brief
I have caught a trace of glorious grace

Yeah...oh...oh...
Yeah...oh...oh...
Give me your relief,
Not your grief!
Give me your relief,
Not your grief!

I found your serenity in a most unexpected way
I'm sound asleep in your unconditional sway
Shower me with your brilliance
Set me free in the aqua-blue sky, catching a glimpse at the birds in the distance...

I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar
I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar

I can't let go of you
You're a shimmering star,
Burning bright with all its might
Like you always do 
Like you always do

I'm falling into place in your elegant embrace
Yeah, I'm going through so many tribulations lately that aren't so brief
I have caught a trace of glorious grace

I found your desires in the flourishing fire
I'm mesmerized by your positive vibes that lift me higher and higher and higher
How can I say goodbye to your sorrowful soul?
How can you say that you're not beautiful?

Yesterday is gone 
A new day has begun
Welcome the dawn
With open arms, my darling sun 

I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar
I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar

I can't let go of you
You're a shimmering star,
Burning bright with all its might
Like you always do 
Like you always do

I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar
I wander too far
I wander too far
I wander too far in a utopia from afar
With open arms, my darling sun
With open arms, my dear dawn 

Give me your trace of grace in my ever-pounding heart
Tatoo your lips upon my chest before I helplessly tear apart
I know our love is a compass of compassion
So we won't get lost in the forest of our passion 

I wander too far...
I wander too far...in a utopia from afar...

I wander too far...
I wonder where you are...
Let me heal your scar,
So that you'll be a shimmering anew star
