[Verse 1]
When the frantic pace of life attacks me
And weighs me to the ground
I long for someplace to escape
To the one place i have found
No stoplights to obey
No signs or limits there
Just drop the hook
And make your home almost anywhere

[Chorus]
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong

[Verse 2]
The gentle motion of the seas
Just rocks me off to sleep
No sirens, cars or screams
Just quiet ocean breeze
A frigate bird encircles me
A 1000 feet above
She dips her wing and bows her head
Like we share a common love

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
When the moonlight cracks the edge of night
And stars are everywhere
I can taste the rum and coke
And I can smell that salty air
A light spray across my bow
Cools the evening sun
As it slowly melts into the sea
And tells me day is done

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
When the common themes of life
They come and overload my brain
I steer my thoughts right to that place
That takes me far away
When the traffic fills that concrete path
That takes me back and forth
I usually sit and dream about
That biggest piece of earth

[Chorus][x2]
Where the sky meets the water
Where the wind is my song
Where the sun is my brother
That's where I belong

[Outro]
Yeah, that's where I belong
Oh, that's where I belong
