Chorus 1

'Cause I know a place we could go

No one has been there, and no one will know

There it is quiet, forget the violence

You've tried so hard to ignore

Chorus 2

Oh, I know a place we could go

Unpack our bags and we'll call it a home

The sea will sing our minds to sleep

I know a place we could go

Far from the highways, and far from the home

Seep in the silence, safe in our minds that

And no one will notice once we are gone

Up in the trees, laugh on the beach

I know a place we could go

Can we go home?

'Cause I know a place we could go

Deep in the forest, out of the storm

Our souls could be freed of disease

That everyone tried to destroy

Chorus 6

Oh, I know a place we could go

No one has been there, no one will know

The sea will sing our minds to sleep

I know a place we could go
