I've trusted, I've won and lost
and I've learned to accept it
But I've never been afraid to go on
Oh, have you ever sailed on a ship
are only waiting for your fall
Oh, but you never reach the shore
So put the oars out and row
I've trusted, I've won and lost
and I've learned to accept it
And I believe in those things that I've done
I was tested and tempted,
But I've never been afraid to go on
Oh, would you ever leave the house
If you knew that somebody
Oh, could you ever risk your safety
you're contented and relaxed
But after the ebb flows the tide
And the flame within you won't
Something calls you, drives you,
makes you run again into the wild
I've trusted in what I've lost
and I've learned to accept it
And I've believed in those
I was tested and tempted,
discontented and exhausted
But I've never been afraid to go on
I've trusted and I've lost it
I've learned to accept it
I hope to be right, prove to be wrong
I've rambled and stumbled
I've landed and regretted
But I've gone on to writing this song
