Hope is an anchor and love is a ship
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
'Til you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars
Well, you better have a map
A compass and a conscience
So you don't get lost at sea
Around some lonely island, no one wants to be

From the beginning of creation, I think our Maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us to the waves and the wind
To the beaches and a world where have never been
And we'll climb upon a mountain, y'all we'll let our voices ring
Those who've never tried they'll be the first to sing

Woah, my, my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold 'cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my

You don't bring nothing with you here
And you can't take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up from praying
Scarred my back from falling down
Spent so much time flying high, 'til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watching me, would you talk to God and say
Tell him I might need a hand to see a boat someday

Woah, my, my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go
Where the streets are gold 'cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my

'Cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my
