I've made my way, I've walked this world I've tried to be a better girl I've held my head up, held my own Now all I wanna be is home We sailed east in summer on the Azores High For days I felt a silence in my soul We headed south in winter to the trade winds Like a heart beat, I could feel the ocean roll My mother taught me how to be strong My father showed me how to carry on Now I turn the compa** round And head out on the ocean I turn the compa** round And head out on the sea 'Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world I've tried to be a better girl I've held my head up, held my own Now all I wanna be is home Sometimes I think I'm never gonna find A sweetness that I knew when I was young
And in this faded photograph it seems Like everything is shining in the sun My mother taught me how to be free My father showed me how to live the dream Now I turn the compa** round And head out on the ocean I turn the compa** round And head out on the sea 'Cause I've made my way, I've walked this world I've tried to be a better girl I've held my head up, held my own Now all I wanna be is home Is home, is home I've made my way, I've walked this world I've tried to be a better girl I've held my head up, held my own Now all I wanna be is home I've made my way, I've walked this world I've tried to be a better girl I've held my head up, held my own Now all I wanna be is home Is home, is home
