Long Journey - Mayaya

I remember the moment that my dreams were broken I wrote them down on a post card then threw it away I slipped into some trousers and rolled out my window Then went out into the wilderness where I'm going to stay And it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on And it's a long, long, long story that can be told And it's a long, long day We've come a long, long way And it's a long, long, long way back I'm looking around this museum for paintings I relate to Even though most of them were painted by somebody else Then we went to the movies and watched lots of films there, yeah Now I'm going down to Hollywood to make them myself And it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on And it's a long, long, long story that will be told And it's a long, long day We've come a long, long way And it's a long, long, long way back And it's a big, big vehicle that we're driving in And I've been following this roadway since it began And if I came here to lose, then I still might win When I go down that road again And the road doesn't end It's a long, long road, and we follow it again and again And the road don't pretend I went down to the Coast Guard to see what they're guarding See what the sign says, you idiot, we're guarding the coast Now I'm going on a podcast to talk about my memories Even though I can't remember anything from before the show I made some long, long phone calls to my friends at home And I told them where I've been and the places I'm going And they said, "Wow, that's incredible, but we already know Because of that long, long song you wrote" About how it's a long, long, long journey that we've been on And it's a long, long, long story that shall be told And it's a long, long day We've come a long, long way But there's still a long way to go It's a long, long, long way It's a long, long, strong way It's a long, long, long way Forward

Look around you Did you find your dream? Did you find your treasure? Yes, we have finally found it Covering us like the shining light Setting us free like the winds coming from above Can you see the changes? Let us continue to hope and yearn! Though the roaring winds continue to blow It will not stop us We are the history And we will be the one! Can you hear those voices?

If on every ocean the ship is a throne And for each mast cut down, another sapling is grown Then I could believe that I'm bound to find A better life than I left behind But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colours bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue, green, white and gold So I had to leave from my country of birth As for each child grown tall, another lies in the earth And for every rail we laid in the loam There's a thousand miles of the long journey home But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colours bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue, green, white and gold But as you ascend the ladder Look out below where you tread For the colours bled as they overflowed Red, white and blue, green, white and gold Red, white and blue, green, white and gold

People want it People dream about it It can be different to every individual It can complete us Or it can destroy us And it can change the world People call it "treasure" The sound of wind blowing from the horizon The warmth of the sun hitting the ocean waves The vibration of sand beating like the hearts of youth We're at the starting point of this long journey The freezing winds may make us shiver The heat of the sun may make us thirsty The vibrations of the sand may swallow us But we'll never stop Gold, eternal life, honor, love, fame It doesn't matter what you dream for So let me ask you What is your treasure? Will you join us?
