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. listen to it   [ realaudio ] there is no recording of this song available at this time. 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
