Lyrics

I took a trip into the ocean

High emotion filled me with desire

I had to see what I was fighting

That kept inviting me to take it higher


Well looking back it didn't hurt me

It did something for my soul

It taught me when you find a love

Don't break it, try to make it whole


I took a walk into the fire

When I heard you calling me

I took a chance and what a good thing

It turned out to be


It turned out

It turned out

It turned out

It turned out to be


Well now it's done and out of nowhere

I can go wherever pleases me

If you don't mind some stormy weather

We'll be together in our fantasy


Looking back it didn't hurt me

It did something for my soul

It taught me when you find a love

Don't break it

Try to make it whole


I took a walk into the fire

When I heard you calling me

I took a chance and what a good thing

It turned out to be

Officially appears on
