Lyrics

The sound of change she says is so appealing
But the old familiar winds just keep her reeling
So steady on in hopelessness she goes, she goes
And though the higher words of faith stir up desire
Still more the fear and doubt keep adding to the fire
That burns to ashes every tender bud before it grows, before it grows

Pre-Chorus
But it only takes a thought, followed by a want
Committed to one move that leads the other way
It only takes resolve to stand on solid ground
To begin the course of change that will turn this ship around

Chorus
So hoist now the sails, batten down the hatches
Tie your body to the rail, and pray for daylight to abound
And lock the destination in, stoke the fire of inspiration
Feel the tide of strength rising up within
Let fear and doubt be lost and hope be found
And turn this ship around

Oh, the power of hope deferred is so commanding
Leaves the best of good intentions alone and standing
Beneath the weight of emptiness and want of something more, something more
But deep beneath the waves of desolation
I see the strength to rise above the hesitation
To picture what you once believed was good and set on the shore

Pre-Chorus / Chorus

You can do it if you try
Even young birds have to learn to fly
So turn this ship around


Turn This Ship Around
