September 16th 2002:

Set the Course

Time drifts down the river, who knows where it goes?
The future a reflection in the water as it flows
The vessels are reminders of the need we have to be
Heading for the ocean, sailing to be free.

CHORUS
So set the course for your horizon and hope to be there soon,
Sometimes the sun will guide you and sometimes the stars and the moon.

It's better to be breaking in the waves upon the sea
Than just watching from the shoreline, always wondering what could be,
All the while knowing, those people should be you
Sailing for the future, deep into the blue

CHORUS

Moonlight on the water conjures dreams of used to be
And in the stars that puncture heaven you can glimpse eternity.
It takes an open mind to look beyond what we can see
And sail a little closer to our blind date with destiny

CHORUS
