"The Far Horizon"

I am lost to the world at large
Somewhere on a slow trip on a barge
Traveling all day never nearer to reach that far horizon
Never nearer to that edge I keep in my vision

Yet even if it is far I would go
That somehow in my own mind I know I tried so
Never to prove to anyone that it could be done
But a word of wisdom learned this I could leave my son

If I look at the far horizon it will always be there
Never nearing even all day I dare
Unless I go for that dream that some dayit would be
If I try who knows one day catch up and there is me
