Turn The Compass Round

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 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

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 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
