Send my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
Paid my dues, went through the motions
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
And I pray my compass stays open
Lead the way, lead the way 
Lead the way now
And I'm sending my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
I'm gone now
My first class was one way
Like someday I'd come home again
We don't get along now 
Everyone from home said come home
But I promised that I won't follow them
Exhale away what you breathe in me
I was a planet away from where I needed to be
Send my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
Paid my dues, went through the motions
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
And I pray my compass stays open
Lead the way, lead the way 
Lead the way now
And I'm sending my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
I'm gone now
Like tigers, tigers
They chain me but they don't understand
Am I really wrong now?
My family condemns me
But it's empty in that city of sand
Exhale away what you breathe in me
I was a planet away from where I needed to be
Send my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
Paid my dues, went through the motions
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
And I pray my compass stays open
Lead the way, lead the way 
Lead the way now
And I'm sending my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
Send my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
Paid my dues, went through the motions
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
And I pray my compass stays open
Lead the way, lead the way 
Lead the way now
And I'm sending my fears into the ocean
Wash away, wash away
Wash them away down
