Beyond The Horizon
Gertjan Wijnalda, december 1997

about this song
december is always a great month for me to write, and the 1997-version wasn't different. it was my first approach to a more 'mystical' lyric instead of the plain 'i'm walking on the street and i'm looking at what a lovely weather it is'-texts.

what you see is quite often not what you get. that's true for both the song itself and it's meaning. the last sentence is quite a different ending that what you would've expected from the beginning.

Beyond The Horizon
(G.L. Wijnalda)

Not quite knowing what this new world�s about
They need a brave soldier to explore and to find out
What the territory�s like, and how the residents act
The impact you�ll have, the people you�ll attract

Beyond the horizon, unseen things are awaking
Beyond the horizon, unexplored lands lie waiting
To be explored

So out I go, knowing not what I will find
It may sound strange, but I�m trav�ling through your mind
The journey�s difficult, many obstacles faced
Many thoughts created, many thougts erased

Beyond the horizon, of the edges of your eyes
Beyond that edges, lay the deep dark nights
Of your mem�ries

Beyond the edges, of your lovely head
Beyond that edges, lies the meaning
Of what you�ve said

Weary and tired, the trip lasts forever
But the end result is worth the endeavour
I�ve found out what�s inside you, not how you�re looking

But I must admit that both things are the best
I�ve ever seen
