[Verse 1]
           
I’ll take the 

     
world apart
           
To find a plac

            
e for a peacef

   
ul heart
         
I know I’ve go

 on the other

 boat to sail
           
Or might have 

            
to swim all th

  
e way
             
I’ll make the

Until it leads

            
 me to the lan

     
d of love
           
I’ll go any le
