Heart is the Pacific

I watched the sun set, orange and blazing, on the Golden Gate I took my hopes and dreams and prayers, sent 'em out upon the spray Aotearoa, bring me to your shores again Take me safely swiftly sailin' on the wings of an ancient future dream And I'll follow my heart into that wild, wild ocean I'll ride these changing winds into that wild, wild sea Oh, my soul, I just can't sit still while the world goes madly spinnin' You set me free, I let it be, head out to sea and find myself another destiny I'm just a speck in that great vastness, rockin' in the endless swell Every wave brings me an answer, but the question, I can't tell The morning star is risin', bringin' hope Orion lays his weapons down again My heart is the Pacific, dark and stormy, powerful and deep And I'll follow my heart into that wild, wild ocean I'll ride these changing winds into that wild, wild sea Oh, my soul, I just can't sit still while the world goes madly spinnin' You set me free, I let it be, head out to sea and find myself another destiny Though the winds have died, and the seas are calm, there's a storm brewin' in my chest So many nights, I laid awake and wondered why you had to say goodbye Was it really for the best? Up on midnight watch under the Milky Way, I ask for understanding, grace and ease My seven sisters tell me, "great mother heals in time" She brings me strength upon the breeze She brings me strength And I'll follow my heart into that wild, wild ocean I'll ride these changing winds into that wild, wild sea Oh, my soul, I just can't sit still while the world goes madly spinnin' You set me free, I let it be, head out to sea and find myself another destiny
