Boys, set your sails, grab your arms
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul, my soul
Can you brave the worst of my love?
Be the ones who testify, not the ones who've given up?
If you wait till stars align, you miss the cry
For history does not bend or ever break towards you and I
Boys, set your sails, grab your arms
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul
Why can't I say that with my whole, my whole heart
Can you save me from what I've become?
I waste my time, I waste any good of kingdom come
When the painted dark arrives, I come to find
We're not learning how to live, we're just learning how to die
Boys, set your sails, grab your arms
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul
Why can't I say that with my whole, my whole heart
My heart
My whole heart
My heart
My whole heart
My heart
My whole heart
My heart
Boys, set your sails, grab your arms
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul
Why can't I say that with my whole, my whole heart
Boys, set your sails, grab your arms
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul
Why can't I say that with my...
Boys, set your sails, grab your arms
Tell the stories you were born to tell
And tell them well, my soul
Why can't I say that with my whole, my whole heart
