Story Behind The Song

I had been out on the deck, in the country, gazing at the full moon. I was struggling with a relationship that was confusing and not really working. I felt adrift in the clouds above.

Song Description

We have the option of following many paths. Once we have determined our destination, there is only one - forward to the goal we have set for ourselves.

Lyrics

Mariner's Song

I'm a castaway moon in a sea of stars, Lost in the wisps of fog
A castaway moon wondering who I am and who you are
On a voyage to the unknown like Magellan 'round the horn
Like Columbus to the New World I feel newly born

And the oars of the long boats gave way to sails
The woes of the world to sea foam
All I need is the wind at my back
and the North Star to guide me home.

(This verse omitted to shorten song)
When the choice to follow your heart is made
The way is often clear
But to steer the course may take a while
And you'll have to battle fear
Your oars upon the water will break upon the shore
and every truth you whisper will echo like a roar!

And the oars of the long boats give way to sails
The woes of the world to sea foam
All I need is the wind at my back
and the North Star to guide me home.

And though the winds of change will blow
Hold tightly to the wheel
You needn't fight the undertow
to keep an even keel
The Star is there to guide you through the churning sea
know that God's beside you the truth shall set you free!

I'm a castaway moon in a sea of stars, Lost in the wisps of fog
A castaway moon wondering who I am and who you are
On a voyage to the unknown like Magellan 'round the horn
Like Columbus to the New World I feel newly born

[: The oars of the long boats give way to sails
The woes of the world to sea foam
All I need is the wind at my back
and the North Star to guide me home. :]
