lyrics

it's time for a change
i'm tired of that same old same
the same old words the same old lines
the same old tricks and the same old rhymes

days precious days
they roll in and out like waves
i got boards to bend
i got planks to nail
i got charts to make
i got seas to sail

i'm gonna build me a boat
with these two hands
it'll be a fair curve
from a noble plan
let the chips fall where they will
cause i've got boats to build

sails are just like wings
the wind can make em sing
songs of life, songs of hope
songs to keep your dreams afloat

i'm gonna build me a boat
with these two hands
it'll be a fair curve
from a noble plan
let the chips fall where they will
cause i've got boats to build

shores distant shores
there's where I'm headed for
got the stars to guide my way
sail into the light of day

i'm gonna build me a boat
with these two hands
it'll be a fair curve
from a noble plan
let the chips fall where they will
cause i've got boats to build
