You should get a hero’s welcome every morning
When you take a deep breath and put on your jacket
Another day working the racket
You’re just holding on long enough
To make it home in one piece
But this is no ordinary day, is what I came this far to say
The sun is shining in its place, I’ve got a smile on my face
It’s been so hard living this way, knowing what’s right
Inside a world that’s so filled up with what feels wrong
So many people who don’t know what’s going on –
Just remember what you know

And face them with what’s in your soul

The fear in that will push you to the edge –
You’ll be the only person in the world, but be alone
And be the only one;
Make your stand at the end of the miles you’ve come
And then you will be free, the freedom comes in being like a stone
There at the bottom, not afraid to stand against the waves
And then another stone, and then another
And soon the biggest ships and tides will come
And crash against the hem you’ve built
Love is an island in the sea
