Hope is an anchor and love is a ship
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
'Til you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars
Well, you better have a map
A compass and a conscience
So you don't get lost at sea
Around some lonely island
No one wants to be

From the beginning of creation
I think our maker had plan
For us to leave these shores
And sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide
Through the waves and the wind
To the beaches and a world
Where we've never been
And we'll climb upon a mountain y'all
We'll let our voices ring
Those who've never tried
They'll be the first to sing

Whoa, my my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
,Cause you'll be there

Oh, my my

You don't bring nothing with you here
And you can't take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse
With a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees from praying
Scarred my back from falling down
Spent so much time flying high
'Til I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watching me
Can you talk to God and say
Tell him I might need a hand
To see a boat someday

Whoa, my my
I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know I wanna go
Where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there

'Cause you'll be there

Oh, my my
