300 Days At Sea
Beautiful Ride
Tried to reach you yesterday
To lie the lion down beside the lamb
Tried to find the words to say
I tried to put the white dove in your hands
I'm happy to take my turn
I'm happy to live and learn
I'm happy to let this slide
Till you come around
'Cause it's a beautiful ride
As long as we're living
It's a beautiful ride
I don't mind if you're willing
'Cause you and I
Circle in the same sky
You and I could fly side by side
On this beautiful ride
We're living with the tapestry
The energy of everything we've done
A little bit of you in me
A little bit of hope in everyone
I'm happy to make it right
I'm happy to stay all night
I'm happy to let this go
Until you come around
'Cause it's a beautiful ride
As long as we're living
It's a beautiful ride
I don't mind if you're willing
'Cause you and I
Circle in the same sky
You and I could fly side by side
On this beautiful ride
Yeah, you and I
Circle in the same sky
You and I could fly side by side
On this beautiful ride
It's a beautiful ride
As long as we're living
It's a beautiful ride
I don't mind if you're willing
It's a beautiful ride
Look out your window
It's a beautiful ride
It's a beautiful ride
Beautiful ride
It's a beautiful ride
As long as we're living
It's a beautiful ride
It's peace and forgiving
Higher Ground
Why do I
Follow this heart of mine
Risk my life
Follow it every time
Ride the waves
Into the wild beyond
To bring you hope
That's what I'm riding on
It's what I see inside
I see in your eyes
I can pull you from the wreckage
I can save your life
I can bring you what you need
I can make it alright
But it's you who lifts me to higher ground
It's you who lifts me to higher ground
Why do I
Follow the call again
No one hears
But I can feel your pain
Worlds away
Everyone's looking through
Glory fades
But it's what I am to you
It's what I see inside
I see in your eyes
I can pull you from the wreckage
I can save your life
I can bring you what you need
I can make it alright
But it's you who lifts me to higher ground, yeah
It's you who lifts me to higher ground
It's you who
It's you who
It's you
I can pull you from the wreckage
I can save your life
I can bring you what you need
I can make it alright
But it's you who lifts me to higher ground, yeah
It's you who lifts me to higher ground
I can pull you from the wreckage
From the wreckage
I can save your life
I can bring you what you need
What you need
I can make it alright
But it's you who lifts me to higher ground, yeah you
It's you who lifts me to higher ground
Yeah, it's you who lifts me to higher ground
Stop The Fire
Fire
So this is what it's coming to
Divided by the things we do
I see a light in the distance shining
I see your eyes and the pain that you bring
So this is just a rich girl's dream
No way to know the things you've seen
We're worlds apart but both flesh and blood
A change of heart could do us all some good
And we can the stop the fire
Yeah, we can turn this around
We got a long way to go
This much I know
But we can stop the fire
I'll listen if you speak to me
If you speak to me
And fly it for the world to see
If you speak to me
I don't pretend that I know how you feel
Easy for me but for you it's so real
And we can the stop the fire
Yeah, we can turn this around
Yeah, we can stop the fire, mm-mm
Yeah, we can turn this around
We got a long way to go
This much I know
But we can stop the fire
Fire
Fire
We got a long way to go
This much I know
But we can stop the fire
Fire
We got a long way to go
Stop it now
We got a long way to go
We can stop the fire, fire
We can stop the fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire
Yeah, we can stop the fire
Save A Little Piece Of Tomorrow
I'm swimming over rooftops
I'm looking through sea
This home I used to live in
The way things used to be
I'm breathing underwater
I hear my mother's voice
I'm back there in the blue swing
Back when there was a choice
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
For you, child
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
For you, child
I'll carry this weight
I'm floating through the silence,
The shadows, and the sand
We held it like an hourglass
The world was in our hands
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
For you, child
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
For you, child
I'll carry this weight on my shoulders
I'll carry this weight on my conscience
I'll carry this weight
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
For you, child
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
For you, child
I'll carry this weight on my shoulders
I'll carry this weight on my conscience
I'll carry this weight, oh
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
For you, Child
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
I'll save a little piece of tomorrow, oh
Everything Changes
Last time you were here, I lost a baby
Nothing was clear, everything maybe
Songs I have sung deep in the silence
Nobody finds hope in defiance
Everything changes, changes for the good
Even the pain hurts like it should
Everything moves, shadows to light
Heart becomes whole when you give up the fight
Once a long time ago, you were a girl
Path undecided, sails unfurled
I could have known you then, followed you here
Swam in the lake with you, making it clear
Everything changes, changes for the good
Even the pain hurts like it should
Everything moves, shadows to light
Heart becomes whole when you give up the fight
I feel no hate
I feel no weight
I feel the truth
Of what it takes
I feel no hate
I feel no weight
I feel the truth
Of what it takes
You're lost in the silence now, deep in my heart
I'm starting again but I don't know how to start
Look out to the ocean, the green turns to blue
Crack in the sadness, the light filters through
Everything changes, changes for the good
Even the pain hurts like it should
Everything moves, shadows to light
Heart becomes whole when you give up the fight
Everything changes, changes for the good
Even the pain hurts like it should
Everything moves, shadows to light
Heart becomes whole when you give up the fight
Do Something That Scares You
Yesterday, I walked outside
Out into a sea of dust, arid and dry
And so hot and so unbelievably radiant
And unforgiving
And I watched myself go under
And I felt energy rising
And then I saw this woman coming towards me
All heat and haze
But with a smile like a river that swept me up
And I took my hand and I put it in hers
And I said, "Will you be my spirit guide?"
And she said, "You don't need a spirit guide
All you gotta do is ride
You just close your eyes and then open them wide"
She said
Do something that scares you
Do something that scares you
And I washed my hands in the clear green water
Rushing from the mountain like some kind of absolution
Like a resurrection
I put my whole body into the water
Like I was transforming, a chrysalis
I could taste the dirt
The red earth on my tongue
And I felt like I was just a girl,
Seventeen, looking for something, edgy and green
And bursting and beautiful and undecipherable
With the reins held tight
And I felt like I was just holding onto a thread
Taking off, ready for joy, on a bird's wing, fragile
And I heard that voice
Do something that scares you
Do something that scares you
Do something that makes you feel
Do something that makes you feel
And I stood on the edge of that cliff
And I realized I was all alone
With no way up or down
And I was scared
And I started to climb
Up, up, up
And I could suddenly feel
And I could feel rain on my skin, sweet and cold
And I could feel all the pain from all the years
All the sweat and all the untold passions and the tears
Like rain flowering in me so strong
Like jasmine, and releasing me
And I fell onto the sand and I put up my hands
And I put up my body arms
And I cried with the rain
And I felt myself becoming myself
Like I was freed from the beliefs that I'd been handed as a child
Like I could see the world from above
Like I could live pure
And I took off that red ribbon from around my head
And I buried it under the yellow earth, scratching at the sand
Burying it deeper and deeper
Into the heat, into the core
I said
I did something that scares me
I did something that scares me
I did something that makes me feel
I did something that makes me feel
I did something that makes me feel
Alive
The Good Ship, 'Moon'
Moon, they let you sink down
Through the seas you rode
But no one takes the dream
It holds me fast
Anchored in the deep
It everlasts
Hold your course
Northwest, southeast
Shore to shore
We're all going
Home to where
The heart is
I try to find my way down
But the tears come
Blue, the silver light
I feel the ocean now
The waves we ride
The circle of the moon above inside
Hold your course
Northwest, southeast
Shore to shore
We're all going
Home to where
Home to where
The heart is
And I wish that I could bring those feelings back
All the pieces from my childhood
And I wish that I could somehow hold my breath
All the way down
Moon
Moon
Hold your course
Northwest, southeast
Shore to shore
We're all going
Home to where
Home to where
Home to where
The heart is
Turn The Compass Round
I've made my way, I've walked this world
I've tried to be a better girl
I've held my head up, held my own
Now all I wanna be is home
We sailed east in summer on the Azores High
For days I felt a silence in my soul
We headed south in winter to the trade winds
Like a heart beat, I could feel the ocean roll
My mother taught me how to be strong
My father showed me how to carry on
Now I turn the compass round
And head out on the ocean
I turn the compass round
And head out on the sea
'Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world
I've tried to be a better girl
I've held my head up, held my own
Now all I wanna be is home
Sometimes I think I'm never gonna find
A sweetness that I knew when I was young
And in this faded photograph it seems
Like everything is shining in the sun
My mother taught me how to be free
My father showed me how to live the dream
Now I turn the compass round
And head out on the ocean
I turn the compass round
And head out on the sea
'Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world
I've tried to be a better girl
I've held my head up, held my own
Now all I wanna be is home
Is home, is home
I've made my way, I've walked this world
I've tried to be a better girl
I've held my head up, held my own
Now all I wanna be is home
I've made my way, I've walked this world
I've tried to be a better girl
I've held my head up, held my own
Now all I wanna be is home
Is home, is home
Burning To Love
I saw the young man standing, arms across his chest
He was afraid to speak the words that put his coolness to the test
But then he rose above and spoke of love and all that he had found
And he brought us all to tears like bringing rain back to the ground
'Cause we're all burning, we're burning to love
We're burning, we're burning to love
We're learning that all we want and all we need
Is love
We're burning to love
I felt the mother's loss, her sadness and her pain
As she stood beneath the cedars, she was whispering his name
The life that breathes us is fleeting as a song
When we fly, we leave each other with empty, aching arms
That leaves us burning, burning to love
We're burning, burning to love
We're learning that all we want and all we need
Is love
We're burning to love
Love
So will you help me wear my heart out on my sleeve
Bring the alter to my doorstep, I'm already on my knees
Yeah
Yeah, I'm burning, burning to love
I'm burning, burning to love
I'm learning that all I want and all I need
Is love
I'm burning to love
Oh yeah, I'm burning, burning to love
I'm burning, burning to love
I'm learning, I'm learning that all we need
Is love
Love
Burning to love
I'd Rather Be
I'd rather be warm than tough and cool
I'd rather be warm than tough and cool
I'd rather be true
I'd rather be soft than hard as steel
I'd rather be real
I'd rather live close to the ground
Than fly at the speed of sound
I'd rather free fall and feel it all
And if you want me, you gotta take me
As I am
There's no one like me, so celebrate me
As I am
As I am
I'd rather see life with open eyes
Than wear some know-it-all disguise
I'd rather be small, observe it all
A little unsure
I'd rather speak truth with every word
Or hold my tongue and not be heard
I'd rather live full and feel the fear
And if you want me, you gotta take me
As I am
There's no one like me, so celebrate me
As I am
As I am
'Cause we win and we lose
And we feel and we bruise
And we're not perfect
But that's how I'd rather be
And we give and we take
And we fall and we break
And we're not perfect
But that's how I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be
Let my hair down, make a big sound, let it all around
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be
I'd rather be loved than held above
And if you want me, you gotta take me
As I am
There's no one like me, so celebrate me
As I am
As I am
'Cause we win and we lose
And we feel and we bruise
And we're not perfect
But that's how I'd rather be
And we give and we take
And we fall and we break
And we're not perfect
But that's how I'd rather be
And we laugh and we cry
And we love and we die
And we're not perfect
But that's how I'd rather be
And we climb and we fall
And we mess with it all
We're not perfect
Not perfect, but that's how I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be
I'd rather be, I'd rather be, I'd rather be me
Until The Race Is Run
No words to describe
This ocean inside
I'm tired and I'm afraid
And I can't find my way
I've been hiding for days
Caught up in these waves
Of hope and sorrow
I gotta find my strength
And I know I'm gonna make it
If my heart can take it
And if I don't, I know I'm gonna go out fighting
And I know I'm gonna get through
Cause I got the will to
And if I don't, I know I'm gonna go out trying
Could I rise up above
And be healed by love
And dream about the mountains that I've yet to climb
Can I touch what I feel
Can I make it all real
Just dream another dream to take me high
And I know I'm gonna make it
If my heart can take it
And if I don't, I know I'm gonna go out fighting
And I know I'm gonna get through
Cause I got the will to
And if I don't, you know I'm gonna go out trying
I will be strong
I will hold on
I will keep winning until the race is run
I will be strong
I will hold on
I will keep winning until the race is run
It's a beautiful day
If I could just walk away
From everything that keeps me from the truth I know
'Cause I know I'm gonna make it, make it
If my heart can take it
And if I don't, I know I'm gonna go out fighting
I know I'm gonna get through
'Cause I got the will to, got the will to
And if I don't, you know I'm gonna go out trying
I will be strong
I will hold on, I will hold on
I will keep winning until the race is run
I will be strong
I will hold on
I will keep winning until the race is run
I will be strong
I will hold on
I will keep winning until the race is run
I will be strong
I will hold on
I will keep winning until the race is run
I will be strong
I will hold on
Until the race is run
I will keep winning until the race is run
Stay
This is our reason to be
Alone on an island at sea
Watching the tide roll away
It makes me wanna stay
Sweet is the oleander breeze
Calling the bluebirds in the trees
Soft are the clouds when evening comes
To calm the burning sun down
And are you gonna stay with me
Are you gonna stay
Throw the anchor out with me
To the shore
Are you gonna stay
And when you wake, you dive below
Scatter the seeds and watch them grow
Living in touch and out of time
We leave the world behind
And are you gonna stay with me
Are you gonna stay
And throw the anchor out with me
To the shore
'Cause this is where I wanna be
Surrounded by the sky and sea
And this is what I want
Nothing more
Living in touch and out of time
We leave the world behind
And are you gonna stay with me
Are you gonna stay
And throw the anchor out with me
To the shore
'Cause this is where I want to be, I want to be
Surrounded by the sky and sea
So honey, take a chance on this, take a chance on me
And throw the anchor out
"Cause this is where I wanna be
Beside you on this shore
This is what I want
Nothing more
Precious Thing
( 300 Days At Sea bonus track )
When I feel life's beauty weigh on me now
It's like a dream but too real somehow
Precious thing, you are the world to me now
Precious thing, you hold the key to me now
Oh G-d, thank G-d, you're home
I've been worried sick
I could come undone
Thinking only of it
And I feel life's beauty weigh on me now
It's like a dream but too real somehow
Precious thing, you are the world to me now
Precious thing, you hold the key to me now
If life is meant to teach
Will I ever make the grade
My grasp's so out of reach
Brighter, then I tend to fade
And I feel life's bleeding as we love
We're only human, then it's, oh, dust to dust
Precious thing, you are the world to me now
Precious thing, precious thing, you hold the key to me now
Precious thing
And I feel life's beauty weigh on me now
It's like a dream but too real somehow
Precious thing, you are the world to me now
Precious thing, you hold the key to me now
Precious thing, precious thing, can't take the feel from me now
Precious thing
Forever
