lyrics

Time is a straight lineA linear motion that leaves us behind
as the days pass I count every one.
And I am a sailor
fightin the waves as they break on the hull
pushing me back to the shore
If once I could fight it
Row to horizons where sunsets burn bright
I'd push on and push into the night
But now I've been pushing
too long my arms are tired
just rest watch the clouds pass by

All we need is a little bit of hope
little bit of fight
little bit of motivation
to live
to love
to cry
to continue through this life

I've read through the pages
of all that's been written of how we should spend
the time that we have on this earth
I've studied with sages
to displace the distance from now to the end
just hoping that I'll make a difference
Then one day he'll find us
to bring us to pass through those gates in the air
I'll admit that of this I am scared
But I know we all are
And that is what gives me comfort
We're in this all together

All we need is a little bit of hope
little bit of fight
little bit of motivation
to live
to love
to cry
to continue through this life

Through all these earthquakes
I need to stay steady, two feet on the ground
when the world shakes I can't fall down
And as the crust breaks
I'll secure my position when hands gripping down
To all the things that I hold dear
so as the clouds pass
I'll look to the sky and know that I'm fine
as long as my eyes can see blue
And I will push on, to do
all that I am able
I just want to be stable
