[Verse 1]
There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
It's not a place I have seen
But I'll get there in a blue dream
[Verse 2]
Down the ocean road
Past a sign that says "Good Love Town"
Into a darkness where the stars do drown
But a star in me needs to be free
[Chorus]
And when the battle was done
I was promised my sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run
And when the battle was done
I was promised my sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run
[Verse 3]
There's a place I must go
There's a place I must go
For my heart is a child
That stumbles lonely for the arms of the wild
[Verse 4]
Hear the desert sigh
Sing the city's lullaby
The giant iris of the wild blue sky
Is showing me the way
[Chorus]
And when the battle was done
I was promised my sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run
And when the battle was done
I was promised my sun
But with a thousand nights gone
To a new kingdom I run
[Outro]
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders
You know that it's time to go up, up, up, up, up
Had a big machine riding your shoulders

“Pearl’s Dream” is kind of a journey through the gain, like the desert, the city, and the forest. It’s a song of a girl who’s left battle, a battle that is almost like the destruction of a love affair. She decides just to keep driving, leave that person behind, and follow new horizons.
