for all of you

to the horizon by Alistair Chong

the second ticks over and i am stepping
into the beginning of the sea
all that's left is reaching the horizon
this is the rest of me
i know it's a stormy fight
but i'll keep you in my heart
i'm telling all of this to you tonight
with nowhere to start

i'm swimming to the sun
hiding behind the ocean
i can see the sunshine
down to the deep
further than me
so i'll swim to the horizon

stones i have slowly placed
brokenness i have mended
insecurities have been erased
i owe them all to you my friend
inch by inch i'll take on water
but it don't ever drown my light and
hope, pride and faith i've fought for
as i swim to the horizon

i'm swimming to the sun
hiding behind the ocean
i can see the sunshine
down to the deep
further than me
so i'll swim to the horizon

i'll swim
i'll swim
on and on and on
because your existence
is all to me

i'm swimming for the sun
just behind, i won't sink
i can see the sun shining
and it's gonna keep
this light in me
so i'll swim to the horizon
