I set out before the sun came up |
| [00:28.927] |
Brought my light and my canoe |
| [00:33.033] |
Convinced that's all I needed |
| [00:36.804] |
Lord knows that wasn't true… |
| [00:44.172] |
So I kept my lantern low, until my house was out of view, |
| [00:51.207] |
And by and by I reached the ocean, as the day made it's debut, |
| [00:58.619] |
And in the misty summer morning, I found myself under attack |
| [01:06.023] |
And in the panic of that water, I knew there was no turning back. |
| [01:14.014] |
So I made my peace and I set my course for an island to the west, |
| [01:21.851] |
For on that shore of sycamore, I'll find myself some rest, |
| [01:28.765] |
Once I hid my boat and covered my oars, I fell down into that shade, |
| [01:36.583] |
And I dreamt that at my ripe old age I was back in the second grade. |
| [01:44.199] |
And my momma she was calling for me and the bus came down my street |
| [01:51.559] |
But I did not know what shoes to wear, and I could not find my feet |
| [01:58.932] |
So I floated down the hall, through the door, and everything went pale |
| [02:07.035] |
I climbed aboard that yellow bus as it turned into a whale |
| [02:13.683] |
And then it swallowed me up whole, yeah it thrashed me all around, |
| [02:21.566] |
Well it chewed me up, and it spit me out, miles above the ground |
| [02:28.842] |
And I was falling for the water that was boiling in a cup |
| [02:36.581] |
And I tried to scream, but had no steam, and that's when I woke up. |
| [03:01.386] |
When I came to I was so confused, how long was I asleep? |
| [03:08.980] |
The loneliness I felt right then was enough to make me weep, |
| [03:16.236] |
Then I heard the voice inside my head, lit a fire under me, |
| [03:23.517] |
It said, "Your fear is gonna cost a lot, but your courage comes for free". |
| [03:30.958] |
So I thanked that little island, I paddled off without a care |
| [03:38.398] |
For I know not where I'm going, but I'll know it when I'm there, |
| [03:45.954] |
And I hope that no-one's a-missin' me back in my home town |
| [03:53.060] |
For together we will always be, even though I'm not around. |
| [04:00.919] |
And the sea swirled by like a ballet, and it sang it's gentle song, |
| [04:08.378] |
But a distant rumble warned me it wouldn't be that way for long, |
| [04:16.118] |
So I spoke out and I told the night, "This life's not only mine, |
| [04:23.559] |
I am just your humble passenger, and I trust your grand design". |
| [04:34.498] |
By and by the clouds came lumbering through and the raindrops staggered in, |
| [04:42.187] |
And the waves lined up, two by two, for the show would soon begin |
| [04:50.051] |
And the lightning bolts ripped through the sky like sharks that missed a meal, |
| [04:57.191] |
And the wind went up so hard and cold just like a wall of steel |
| [05:05.145] |
Then all at once, the sea below picked me up a mile high |
| [05:12.275] |
As it threw me to the ocean's floor I heard the night's reply: |
| [05:23.489] |
"Well you see, my humble passenger |
| [05:27.807] |
The sorrow that I feel? |
| [05:31.211] |
For I do not know where you belong |
| [05:35.579] |
And I do not want this wheel" |
