Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, there's a river that winds on forever
I'm gonna see where it leads
Oh, there's a mountain that no man has mounted
I'm gonna stand on the peak
[Verse 2]
Out there's a land that time don't command
Wanna be the first to arrive
No time for ponderin' why I'm a-wanderin'
Oh, while we're both still alive
[Verse 3]
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me?
If you won't, I must say my goodbyes to thee
[Verse 4]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
[Verse 5]
Oh, there's an island where all things are silent
I'm gonna whistle a tune
Oh, there's a desert that's size can't be measured
I'm gonna count all the dunes
[Verse 6]
Out there's a world that calls for me, girl
Headin' out into the unknown
Wayfarin' strangers and all kinds of danger
Please don't say I'm goin' alone
[Verse 7]
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me? (Ay)
There's a world that was meant for our eyes to see (Ay)
To the ends of the earth, would you follow me? (Ay)
If you won't, I must say my goodbyes to thee (Ay)
[Verse 8]
I wasn't ready to die for you, baby
Doesn't mean I'm ready to stay
What good is livin' a life you've been given
If all you do is stand in one place?
I'm on a river that winds on forever
Follow till I get where I'm goin'
Maybe I'm headin' to die, but I'm still gonna try
I guess I'm goin' alone
[Verse 9]
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
