Turn the Compass Round Lyrics

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 heartbeat, 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
