Lyrics
I was standing watch by the ocean
I'd been waiting for my ship to come in
when i heard the craziest notion
said do or die, sink or swim
I was flushed with a rush of confusion
I felt a cool grip of fear
When I looked out toward the horizon
I saw my ship was already here; my ship is already here
let the sun be my guide, let the wind fill my sails
Give me courage to carry this day
Help me stay on this course with a strong steady force
Keep me safe as I'm finding my way
Now, some may find it peculiar
I would leave behind all I know
when I heard pulsing like thunder
my heart was calling me home; my heart is calling me home
let the sun be my guide, let the wind fill my sails
Give me courage to carry this day
Help me stay on this course with a strong steady force
Keep me safe as I'm finding my way
I’m on my way…
Let the sun be my guide, let the wind fill my sails
Give me courage to carry this day
Help me stay on this course with a strong steady force
Keep me safe as I'm finding my way
Oh, help me stay on this course with a strong steady force
Keep me safe as I'm finding my way
