My life in an upturned boat,
Marooned on a cliff.
You brought me a great big flood,
And you gave me a lift.
Girl, what a gift.
Will you tell me with your tongue,
And your breath was in my lungs,
And we float up through the rift.
Simple Song

Well, this is just a simple song
To say what you done
I told you 'bout all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the sun
When I was just nine years old
I swear that I dreamt
Your face on a football field
And a kiss that I kept
Under my vest
Apart from everything
But the heart in my chest
Simple Song

I was born, lucky me
In a land that I love
Though I'm poor, I am free
When I grow, I shall fight
For this land, I shall die
Let her sun never set

In the oceans deep;
In the canyons steep,
Walls of granite here I stand.
All my desperate calls
Echo off the walls
Back and forth; then back again.

To believe I walk alone
Is a lie that I've been told.

So let your heart hold fast
For this soon shall pass,
There's another hill ahead.

You were born into a strange world
Like a candle, you were meant to share the fire
I don't know where we come from, and I don't know where we go
But my arms were made to hold you, so I will never let you go
Cause you were born
To change this life, you were born

That come after spring?

I wanna be your wave

I'll take you to a new phrase
