On the Other End A message in a bottle on the sea That went across the ocean on its way Riding the tide with some tidings to say This comes from far away to you from me Sent to be where you may find it someday Meant to be there by shared humanity Sent where it went in solidarity It comes from who knows the way it goes and It goes so you may know you have a friend What goes from mind to mind comes to become Us becoming human seeking our kind And not in vain nor out of vanity Our humankind finds us coming to mind Looking for hope somewhere and here is some For you tomorrow from me yesterday I meant and sent that went for you to find Who find it on the sand and understand Somewhere far away on the other end Steven Curtis Lance
