we never could sustain
We dropped our anchors
and let the others drift away
And that picture on the wall
might be all that I have left
From summer nights and
fire lights,
the things my mind collects
And though we never could have known
all the ways that we would go
You gave me something
that I could have on my own
And if that fiery morning sky
turns to storms on
our horizons
Then I'll put my faith in hurricanes
and heavy rains tonight
But if you are, you can lean on me
I'll push you right back,
there's everything we believe
When everything changes
and charges again
This ship is sailing,
so we're back here,
my friend s
And tonight,
with brilliance in our eyes
We're looking at the moon,
thinking the dis tance ain't that wide
And if I could, know,
I'd put you up among the stars
So depending on the season,
I'd know exactly where you are
And though we never could have known
All the ways that we would grow
You gave me something
that I could have from my own
And if that fiery morning sky
Turns the storms on our horizons
Then I'll put my faith in hurricanes
And if you are, you can lean on me
I'll push it right back
with everything we believe
When everything changes
an d changes again
This just ain't sailing
till we're back here
My friends, my friends
We're starting again,
but we're not breaking
No, no, no, see this ain't the en d,
my friends
No, this ain't the end,
no, this ain't the end
The hardest part of chasing dreams
Is that you always have to leave
Eleven years or centuries
Or at least that's how it seems
What if these oceans get too rough
The lighthouse will call us
We're coming home
And if you are, you can lean on me
I'll push you right back
with everything we believe
Exaltation
Victors they fail until we're back here,
my friends
