Lyrics
So much pushing and pulling / So much fighting and straining
So much laboring against waves 'n wind
I am tired, my arms are weary / Back is aching, eyes are bleary
I think I'm finally ready to give in
I have struggled, I have cried / I have screamed inside
'Bout the kind of life I've tried to lead
Well right now I think it's time, yeah for the very first time
To lay down my body and mind and just be
(chorus)
If I stop steering my boat, does it sink, oh no
Current carries it along, just so
If I stop steering my life, I'm gonna be alright
I'll just go where the ocean says to go
Down the block or to the moon / Round the world or back in my room
I can't say where I'm s'posed to end up
I've resisted for so long / Thought that I could do no wrong
And it's never been quite good enough
It's a funny thing, I guess / A prideful human saying yes
Without knowing, what I'm agreeing to
But there's a simple fact I find / The decision's never been mine
All I'll ever do is what I'm meant to do
(chorus)
It's a scary thing for sure / To lay down my oars
Quit pretending that I've ever been in charge
But it's scarier still / To spend my strength and will
And never even have a peaceful heart
So here goes the toughest thing / Ironic don't you think
That it's so hard and so easy all at once
It's not laziness, it's just / The deepest kind of trust
That I'm OK when all is said and done
(chorus)
