Lyrics
Chorus:
Now is the season, now I begin.
No reason for waiting
No need to hope for my ship to come in,
I set my intention and start right now
I've waited for fortune, I've waited for fame,
Or only a change in the weather,
An Olympic contender in the waiting game
I've scanned the horizon forever.
CHORUS
But ships come & go & fair winds have blown
While I remain dead in the water,
It's time to weigh anchor and face the unknown,
A confident hand on the rudder.
CHORUS
Bridge:
When I focus on tomorrow
Or dwell on yesterday
I cannot see that I'm standing
In my own way.
CHORUS
