Intro

Verse

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 heartbeat, I could feel the ocean roll

Prechorus

My mother taught me how to be strong

My father showed me how to carry on

Chorus

 Now I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean

 I turn the compass 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

Verse

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

Prechorus

My mother taught me how to be free

My father showed me how to live the dream

Chorus

 Now I turn the compass round, and head out on the ocean

 I turn the compass 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
