Lyrics
CATCH THE WIND A tiny boat and open sky, A gentle swell and summers high, Cut the cool inviting blue, To the ocean sail the sea. To the far horizon searching, All alone, always moving, Ebb and flow you live to grow, Carry on through stormy seas. Youth and spirit urge her on, Setting out in fear for fun, Foam and tempest holding out, A test of faith and doubt. So hoist the sail and catch the wind, Draw us on to who knows when, Life and loss, blood and tears, Pushing on, as Autumn nears.
