Am I that predictable, is this all I'll ever be The words I say, the things I feel, all seem to define me But aren't we just reading from a script, we, ourselves wrote From there we seem to quote, it's true When I am acting as myself, and playing out my role The one thing I must recognize is a lack of depth and soul Why doesn't that bird ask itself, 'Why should I build this nest' Before it builds the rest, it's true Chorus: And through the ocean mist I can discern who I will be Carried by the waves of what's become my history And are we really living if we can't change If we are merely products of ourselves There's got to be a better way The strongest winds are on the sea of tranquility The captain of the little ship tries to guide her faithfully The choices that he makes can't be the choices he'd just make But the choices he must make, it's true The winds all seem much stronger as I sense this truth inside But there's a little secret that can calm this bumpy ride The paradox is that the more I start to accept The higher I'll connect, it's true Chorus We can find the strength inside to chart a brand new course We can find the bravery to weather all the storms No matter what we're feeling, we can change We can make something of ourselves Deep inside, we can find a better way
