lyrics

The world doesn't always make sense
Full of unintended pain & consequence
Do you roll the dice with chance & coincidence
Do you throw yourself at the mercy of providence

Raise the sails & man the oars
Lift the bridge & watch the doors
Unfold the map & chart a course
And say goodbye forever
Forever to the shore

Sometimes you feel that all is lost
That every tiny grain of joy comes with a cost
You're a lifeboat in a storm that's turned & tossed
Crying "I want to be forgiven by the ones I've loved & crossed"

Raise the sails & man the oars
Lift the bridge & watch the doors
Unfold the map & chart a course
And say goodbye forever
Forever to the shore

I was miserable when you left
But I'm happier than I was before we met
I've got no room in my heart for bitterness
For self-humiliation or regret

Raise your hope & man the oars
Lift your eyes & watch the doors
Forget the past & chart a course
And say goodbye forever
Forever to the shore
