I'm the captain of my boat
No one else but me
I'm the one to chart my course
And keep my crew asea
They are there to lift me up
And to hold me down
Most of all the keep the faith
And straighten up my crown
Love me when I'm struggling
Share the dreams that make us sing
Even sitting quietly
As I grow and process things
Circle like a safety net
To let us try our wings
Gently catch me when I fall
And pick me up again
Being captain can be hard
To open up and do our part
To learn to lean upon a team
To trust in where your heart can lead
When we do we all become
Better than we were as one

Mondays people go their way
Lots of things to do
Just another working day
Nothing to do with you
Outside on the fringes
Just beyond the view
Somehow disappearing
Like a wish that won't come true
Hard to hold out hope that way
And save for bills you cannot pay
Still we have to play the game
As if we have no say
How the cards in life are dealt
Or when we get to play

Look out for the silly highs
They always take you down
Don't be afraid to go outside
And take a look around
Walking down the middle road
You may find higher ground
Also don't avoid the lows
Sometimes you hear the sound
Sound of praying yearning souls
Whose peace they have not found
Yes to hear them you must go
Down to where the spirits flow
Leave your body and your mind
Find a strand of light divine
Follow that and look to find
The peace, the Way, the Truth, the Life

Places are made up of people
Everywhere you go
Here's the church and the steeple
Everybody knows
When we start to do a thing
Players set in motion
Happening behind the scenes
At the very notion
Sewing up the tapestry
Humans make the threads you see
Weaving with our every move
However loose or tightly woven
Sometimes strings will come undone
That's when we must turn to one
One who knows the full design
And keeps the needle and threads in time
So we proudly wear our colors
While we appreciate the others

Caught between the old and new
Somewhere in between
Keeping memories of you
Keeping a few things
Hoping to move to a place
Where memories are nice and safe
Dreams that never did come true
Still we have good parts of you
All the pain is mine to bear
I know that you're happy there
Someday I will see you too
No more stuck here missing you

Grateful to be lifted
On the angels wings
Knowing we've been gifted
All unearthly things
Bring your heart down to the river
Let it wash you clean
All that's good and healthy living
Believing what's unseen

Don't get caught up in the trap
Thinking you're alone
Let the sun shine on your back
Look up at the moon

Someday we'll be at the river
Waiting there to cross
Grateful for some sunny weather
Even for the loss

Loss of those we'll see again
One day be together
Til that day we pray for when
One day will be forever

These words come in as gifts
Listen carefully
Not to words come from my lips
Not the words of me
Yet the gift is mine to hone
Adding something all my own
Sometimes nothing flows
Words are all a jumble
Feeling like I'm forced to go
Back to being humble

Riding on the edge of it
Peeking over the edge
Careful watch out where you sit
The ice you're skating on is thin
Holding on for dearest life
Riding every wave
No don't try to go inside
No one is that brave
Why so scary why so dark
That's not what is in my heart
How are we supposed to know
How far we're supposed to go

I know the view is limited
Here from where I sit
Lots of possibilities
Not one feelin it
Patience has no part in this
Learning how to sit in this
Sometimes it's no fun
Unsure where to run
The freezing has begun
Illusions come undone
Now we get to start from scratch
Try to get my footing back
Waiting on the broken path
To find the way to go
Like something I should know
But can't remember though
Fight against technology
Eating away my memory
