Getting Closer

 

Dogs are barking, some drunk ones talking,

and the guys next door only scream and shout.
I’m fed up with violence, I just want some silence.
I wanna know what life is all about.
Hey! Where do I fit in, in this cra-, crazy, crazy world?

Tired of the striving, I went out driving,
I took away and left the city life behind.
In the wilderness, I feel no lonelyness,
it’s my paradise where peace I find.
Hey! I speak the same language as the prairie wind
and the sparkling fountain water.

Ooh..And I see those Canada Geese fly back home.
If I had wings I would have joined them.
Mmmh… I see them disappear into the sun. And then they’re gone.

Some fields are blooming, but some are gloomy,
some sights are wonderful only at first glance.
If there is sadness, there must be gladness,
it’s just a matter of such a circumstance.
Hey! Can you imagine a life without desire?

Storm and thunder, it made me wonder,
what’s going on up there in our universe?
A star was falling, and I was calling,
well I made a wish for a better world.
Hey! I sometimes think that soon everything will be all right.

Ooh..And I see those big black clouds drifting away.
It’s getting clear and I’m getting closer.
Mmmh… closer to a place and a state of mind where I wanna stay.
Step by step I’m getting closer.
