Andrew Peterson - Steady As She Goes lyrics

rate me

I see the thunderheads rise In the northern sky And my heart is sinking In the threatening tide 'cause my portside's heavy with the worries of life and the worries of dying on the starboard side Well, I wonder, am I really Stouthearted enough? 'Cause the ocean is rolling and these waters are rough There's a storm cloud brewing In the sky above So let my vessel be sturdy Let my anchor be tough 'Cause the clouds are known to gather and the wind is prone to blow I'll keep my eyes on the horizon Not below And keep her steady as a river When the wild wind comes to blow I've already been delivered So I'll keep her steady as she goes Well, I shiver in the wake of the raging storm And my rigging is tattered And these sails are torn Gonna cast this cargo overboard But I ain't setting my headings For no change in course Though the clouds are known to gather And the wind is prone to blow I'll keep her steady as a river When the wild wind comes to blow I've already been delivered So I'll keep her steady as she goes So when you can't find the faith to slumber When you're thrown by every swell You know that you're not going under With the captain at the helm
