Letter to the boy on the ivory shore
Who seeks a song amid the ocean's roar
I've got some idea what you are in for
You'll hold a candle to a storm
A candle to a storm

And there'll be peace and there'll be war
And everyday there'll be a door
And there'll be days so beautiful
You daren't forget, and even then days of regret

The stars above will always shine
But you'll learn in time
Not all of life ends in a rhythm
At least not most the time

Letter to the boy on the ivory shore
Who seeks a song amid the ocean's roar
I've got some idea what you are in for
You'll hold a candle to a storm
A candle to a storm

Well now you know, will you go, will you go, will you go?
Will you go?
