There’s a map of mem’ries
Shining like the stars
In a sailor’s sky
Leading me to ever brighter dawns
On a shore where love and hope are bonds
The hands of time will not untie

Somewhere
Out there
Life is rich and love is true
Even though my heart has always known
Through the lonely darkness I was shown
That the map is you

There’s a map of mem’ries
Shining like the stars
In a sailor’s night
And it’s steering me to distant sands
Where I’ll dare to lead a life of chance
The hand of fate could never write

Somewhere
Out there
Love and vision rendezvous
Even though my heart has always known
Through the lonely darkness I was shown
That the map is you

O my love
Life will start
In the ebb tide of our years
Far above
Clouds will part
And forever will be clear

Cos there’s a map of mem’ries
Shining like the stars
In a sailor’s dream
And it points me toward a secret place
Growing wild with liberty and grace
That only eyes of faith have seen

Somewhere
Out there
Beauty is the only view
And even though my heart has always known
Through the lonely darkness I was shown
That the map is you

The map is you
The map is you
O my love
The map is you….
