about

Sometimes, it's important to examine what you're chasing. Maybe, it's an illusion that keeps you from appreciating the things that really matter, such as faith and love.

lyrics

Well Chris, he was looking for a new life he could live • So he built a boat and headed to the West • With his pockets full of nothing and his head all full of dreams • Nobody could have stopped him as he drove into the sea

And with a mighty roar the ocean yelled, “Are you ready boy?” • And chris replied, “Is that the best that you can do?” • So for forty days and forty nights, Chris was battered to and fro • Till finally the tiny ship couldn’t stand the heavy blows

So overboard the captain went into the deep below • Where a mighty fish swallowed him and then spat him out on the shore • “Is this my new world?” Chris exclaimed with some surprise • For a city grew before him and behind him loomed grey skies

I was hoping for some mountains, a forest and a stream • But all I’ve got is concrete and a world of broken dreams • Then chris realized something we all should come to know • Sometimes what you got is the best thing that there is
