Lyrics The Boat Song - Astrid

Once there was a man, threw a branch in sea
He saw that it floated, went back to the tree
This man had no hatchet, they'd never been made
But he got enough branches to float him away

He said, "It makes me wanna go somewhere, leave my home behind"
"I wanna see what's out there I don't care what I find"
"I wanna see the world, wanna claim it for mine"
"And I know I'm not the first nor the last of my kind"

Once there was a girl, hug a rug out to find
A breeze in the fabric at once caught her eye
She said, "If I use a rug to catch onto the wind"
"It might pull me away from this clay house I'm in"

"And it makes me wanna go somewhere, leave my home behind"
"I wanna see what's out there I don't care what I find"
"I wanna see the world, wanna claim it for mine"
"And I know I'm not the first nor the last of my kind"

Once there was a boy, stood on Portugal shore
The ocean looked infinite and possibly more
He said, "It might never end, be impossibly wide"
"Or maybe there's something on the other side"

"And it makes me wanna go somewhere, leave my home behind"
"I wanna see what's out there I don't care what I find"
"I wanna see the world, wanna claim it for mine"
"And I know I'm not the first nor the last of my kind"

Once there was a man, threw a branch in sea
He saw that it floated, went back to the tree
This man had no hatchet, they'd never been made
But he got enough branches to float him away

He said, "It makes me wanna go somewhere, leave my home behind"
"I wanna see what's out there I don't care what I find"
"I wanna see the world, wanna claim it for mine"
"And I know I'm not the first nor the last of my kind"
