Choose One Horizon

[Verse 1]
I drew a line at the harbor wall
A little red route where the gulls wheel tall
One road opened like a morning door
One stayed folded in the atlas drawer

[Pre-Chorus]
Every yes is a compass turning
Every no leaves a page unburning
I can’t be the sea, the shore, the sky
Still, there’s a whole new world nearby

[Chorus]
Go where the map breaks, go where it bends
Take the bright road; let the lost roads end
Step on the one, let the other ones be
No one can sail every blue on the sea
Oh, the world is wide, and my hands are small
I choose one horizon—and love it all

[Verse 2]
There’s a warm green coast I’ll never know
And a mountain pass under winter snow
But this little town has a bell at noon
And a window full of orange bloom

[Pre-Chorus]
Every yes is a compass turning
Every no leaves a page unburning
I can’t be the sea, the shore, the sky
Still, there’s a whole new world nearby

[Chorus]
Go where the map breaks, go where it bends
Take the bright road; let the lost roads end
Step on the one, let the other ones be
No one can sail every blue on the sea
Oh, the world is wide, and my hands are small
I choose one horizon—and love it all

[Bridge]
Fold the paper, keep the crease
Let the far-off islands keep their peace
What I leave is not a debt to pay
I’m here, I’m moving, I’m on my way

[Final Chorus]
Go where the map breaks, go where it bends
Take the bright road; let the lost roads end
Step on the one, let the other ones be
No one can sail every blue on the sea
Oh, the world is wide, and my hands are small
I choose one horizon—and love it all

[Outro]
One bright harbor, one open door
I don’t need to visit every shore
