Your Own Way

Hear the ocean meet the shore
And we’re standing at the edge
of a nation wanting more
More space to figure out
what’s in our hearts and what’s in store
What’s at the core of human kindness
And what’s the cause
of everything that blinds us
To the suffering strung out hung out and mixed up people here among us.
And the world’s so complicated
And you inherit all the mistakes that man created
But can you turn them into works of art? Something made with hands and heart.
And you will find a way.
I know you will find a way.
Day after day you will find your own way
Wherever you go, you already know your way home.
You already know your way home.
You tried to see through strangers’ eyes
You learned that it’s okay to throw down your disguise
You learned compromise and swatting flies and early risin’
Where everybody knows your name
Your muddy feet and growing pains
In a place of weather vanes and summer heat and sudden rains.
And you will find a way.
I know you will find a way.
Day after day you will find your own way
Wherever you go, you already know your way home.
You already know your way home.
Now you’ll go out on your own.
You will make the world your home.
And find your own way.
Find your own way.
