lyrics
I want to sail out into the open sea
with a ragged sail that's fine with me
the waves they can pull the sea it can breathe
but nothing will stop the heart beating in me
it is freeing when these thoughts come to my mind
I'm not a captive, I'm just a sailor with a sailor's heart
because we're all just walking backwards
and we can't deny that we need your love
from the start
from the start
Give me truth and give me life from your direction
I want my life to mean more than simply breathing in and out
