Box of matches and a pocket knife
Some lumps of sugar this will save my life
While my heart is full of confidence, my head is a mess
I've got a golden anchor hanging round my neck
I said, no I'm hauling up no white flag
No, I'm sending out the troops
No I'm hauling up no white flag
No, don't need more water in the soup
My mama told me this would bring me luck
‘Cause it's an anchor made of gold
I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And learn the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering
Braid a hat of golden gra**
It'll protect me from the sun
Learn the meaning of the rain
Collect the water in a can
Girl what are you searching for
I haven't been told
Girl what takes you further
An anchor made of gold
An anchor made of gold
Tighten the ropes when in dangerous heights
Wear three layers of coats in the cold cold night
I know I will survive I am no baby bird
I've got a golden anchor, it will save me so I've heard
No, I'm hauling up no white flag
No, I'm sending out the troops
No, I'm hauling up no white flag
No, don't need more water in the soup
My mama told me this would bring me luck
‘Cause it's an anchor made of gold
I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And learn the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering
Braid a hat of golden gra**
It'll protect me from the sun
Learn the meaning of the rain
Collect the water in a can
Girl what are you searching for
I haven't been told
Girl what takes you further
An anchor made of gold
An anchor made of gold
I'm gonna build me a black little boat
Gonna sew a thin white sail
And learn the messages from the wind
Learn if a storm is gathering
Braid a hat of golden gra**
It'll protect me from the sun
An anchor made of
An anchor made of gold
Girl you gonna find what you're search
Girl you gonna find what you're search
You have to go further, further
Girl you gonna find what you're search
Girl you gonna find what you're search
But you have to push harder, harder
Girl you gonna find what you're search
Girl you gonna find what you're search
You have to go further, further...
I know you have it in you...
