I am flying, I am flying Like a bird 'cross the sky I am flying, passing high clouds To be with you, to be free

We are sailing, we are sailing Home again 'cross the sea We are sailing stormy waters To be near you, to be free

: Crossing the sea to get "home" represents moving toward a place of ultimate peace, resolution, and liberation. 🙏 Spiritual Odyssey
