Story Behind The Song
A song for artist &/or sync placement about the grass is always greener - maybe. The distance across the lake and the idea of looking across it are metaphoric and to apply to any considered home relocation, near or far - may suit TV about that.

Lyrics
BOAT ACROSS THE LAKE
Words and Music / © (all rights reserved) Laurence Conway, 2017
Verse 1:
Across the lake I imagine is paradise
Let's board a boat and just go there
Might be a million times better than how we are living now
Of course the grass is always the greenest where you've not been there and seen it
Still, time we tested my theory
So join me
Let's go!
Chorus:
BOAT ACROSS THE LAKE
Let's recce
When we're there leap off the deck
See what's nearby then probe more deeply
Might decide to move across the lake
Verse 2:
Across the lake I see lights under bluer sky
Could be a positive omen
We'll check them out then come home then make our decision
There's not a lot that's keeping us here now
So if we disappeared how much would it make a diff'rence to those who'd remain?
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3:
It's not I think here our lives are so terrible
In my heart of hearts I'm a realist
Don't advocate we prejudge
There's no harm in looking
I feel like us there might be people there who peer to our side and would dare to think that their futures could lie over here
Repeat Chorus, adding:
Shall we take a BOAT ACROSS THE LAKE?
