BRAVE SHIPS
V1
Hey when we started out (tai tikka tai yeah)
We were all sweet innocent and bright (tai yeah)
But hey now we’re coming back round (tai tikka tai yeah)
Dragons on the way have singed a few hairs
And sometimes you know I lose sight (tai tikka tai yeah)
Of all of you other ships braving the night (tai yeah)
And sometimes you know I get scared (a hey yeah)
Of reaching for a hand to find it’s not there
Reaching for a hand to find it’s not there
Chorus
Hold on, waves are coming in
Stand firm, waves’ll come, another one and another one
Hold strong, mighty souls were born for storms like these
Storms like these…
Remembering…
V2
Hey when we started out (tai tikka tai yeah)
We were all sweet innocent and bright (tai yeah)
But hey now we’re coming back, back round (hey yeah)
We’re ragged at the edges, dragged back through a hedge
And sometimes you know I lose sight (tai tikka tai yeah)
Of all of you other ships braving the night (tai yeah)
And sometimes you know I get scared (a hey yeah)
Of reaching for a hand to find it’s not there
Reaching for a hand to find it’s not there
Chorus
Bridge
So remember your soul, remember your soul
Remember who you are and why you came,
Remember who you are
Oh remember your soul
Middle 8
And though we always do our best but it never seems to be enough
And we’re losing everything
And everything so hard, wading through the dark paths of the heart
Still we’re losing everything
And God it’s such a mess, so much suffering
Feels like I’m trying to bail us out with a teaspoon
But it’s not just me, there’s a whole fleet coming up behind and it’s what we’re here for
No it’s not just me there’s a whole fleet coming up behind and it’s what we’re built for
Coz if the ocean was calm every day
You would never find the courage of the man who was drowning
And if you never burnt down to the ground
You could never rise up from the ashes you were down in
And if you wanna know more push off from the shore
Without the promise of a happy ending
And if you wanna know love
Bow down to the shadow of the truth that you’ve been defending
Yeah if you wanna know love
Bow down to the shadow of the truth that you’ve been defending
If you wanna know love…
Just do what you do, just be what you are, imperfectly you
It’s the world you were meant for
Just do what you do, just be what you are, imperfectly you
It’s the world you were meant for
Keep on doing what you, just be what you are
It’s the world you were meant for
Keep on doing what you, just be what you are
It’s the world you were meant for
Chorus
Bridge 2
So remember your soul, remember your soul
Remember your strength, remember your deepest tears
Remember your fire and know that you’re needed here
Remember your soul, remember your soul
Outro
Push off from the shore and keep your head above the water
Look around and celebrate all those who are there with you
We are brave ships sailing the wide waters of the unknown
And we were made for these times

I Am

Verse 1
I am the sparkling dust in the sunlight
I am the round sun
I am the morning mist and the breathing of evening
I am the whispering wind in the orchard
And the surf on the cliff
I am the bowed head and the pardon
Both love and the heart that has hardened
I am the fear, the pain and the tears of your loss
I am the time, the void and the line you’ll never cross
I am the dusty dreams of old
Won’t you come and find me?
Chorus
Look to the skies
See your own eyes
And out to the sea
Hear your heart’s mystery
And the trees and the earth
Sing of our rebirth
Mmm mm mm mm mm
Hail to the Sun
Hail, hail, hail, hail to the God in everyone!
For I am the question that burns in your mind
I am the space as the words fall behind
I am a crumbling concept of time
Verse 2
I am the sweetest taste, I am bitter
I am the curling tongue
I am the calling bird and the unfurling of wings
I am the coldest water falling
And the gift of Spring
I am the prayer that you whisper each night
And the loving arms holding you tight
I am the sign, the bread and the wine of your flesh
I am the crime, both reason and rhyme of innocence
I am the dusty dreams of old
Won’t you come and find me?
Chorus
I am I am I am I am I…..
