    Lyrics
    DREAM OF A DISTANT SUN (2001-2002)
    words/music: B. Walter)

    Well we used to think the world was flat
    And that was such a crazy notion
    Our ships would fall right of the map
    If we ever to cross the ocean
    Still we sent our best men out to sea
    Tempting fate and destiny
    To return with tales of distant lands
    And fortunes in our hands
    Guided by the powers that be
    And our eyes on the horizon
    Out to conquer all we see
    Every, distant land we’d lay our eyes on!!

    Oooooo, Look out – here we come!!
    And we’ll be chasing the Dream of a Distant Sun

    Well the fear of God was was plain to see
    In the face of John F. Kennedy
    The Russians in the Cuban Sea
    Our futures in their hands
    And we watched it from our living room
    Visions of destruction loomed
    Our cities burned out human tombs
    Our bones reduced to sand
    We had the car gassed up and we were ready to drive
    up to Canada, the Big Sky way
    But then just like that their ships turned back
    And my daddy’s car never left the driveway

    CHORUS
    Chasing the dream of a Distant Sun
    Look out future, here we come
    Never knowing where we might be
    Should this world meets its destiny
    In the wake of the apocalypse to come
    So we’re keeping an eye on a Distant Sun

    BREAK
    It’s a temperamental world that we live in
    And it’s getting hotter every day
    And they say that someday soon
    The house I grew up in
    Will rise up with the tide and drift away
    And we can watch it on the internet
    From a million miles away!!

    Now it’s the twenty first century and I’m out on my deck
    Stummin’ this song I haven’t written yet
    My life half gone - with no regrets
    But there’s a lesson or two I can’t forget
    As the sun goes down and the stars ignite
    and ponder passing satellites
    And I pray as they fade out of site
    That the world will still sleep safe tonight
    I walk to the garden, sink my hands in the earth
    I feel its warmth and I measure its worth
    Black holes and far off galaxies
    Seem little more than mysteries!!

    Chorus

    Oooo… Look out here we come
    And we’re holding a hand that can’t be won
    Oooo…. It’s like staring down the barrel of a gun
    So were keeping an eye on a Distant Sun
