Frontier

from AFTERGLOW by Jeannie Novak

lyrics

Why do they look at me that way
Do I seem that strange
Wondering if I’ll ever see the other side
The birds are singing to me every single day
Why don’t they all want me to stay

Their words are a mystery to me
But I can read their eyes
If I cross the line, will they come for me
Over there, it’s beautiful – and it’s beckoning to me
But if I get through, will I be free

At the crossroads of our lives
It’s getting hard to survive
And another part of me has died

We’ll find another way
To face another day
Crying over time that’s slipping by

A frontier away
We’ll be swimming to our dream
A frontier away
Water’s deeper than it seems
I’ve given my life for this moment
A frontier away

My eyes are watching, waiting
But can I truly see
Did another soul just smile back at me
Am I accepted as I’ve turned out to be
Have I come closer through the sea

At the crossroads of our lives
It’s getting hard to survive
And another part of me has died

We’ll find another way
To face another day
Grieving over time that’s slipping by

A frontier away
We’ll be swimming to our dream
A frontier away
It’s wider than it seems
I’ve given my life for this moment

But swimming in quicksand
I reach out for your hand
We fall back again
And start over

We’ll start over again
Just around the bend
Keeping every thought until the end

It’s not far away
We’re getting closer every day
Nearing our destination
Stopping our frustration – yeah

Water’s deeper than it seems
I’ve given my life for this moment

But swimming in quicksand
I reach out for your hand
We fall back again
And start over
