You seek direction! <br />That's what you claim to need. <br />And you want to stay clear... <br />Of a negativity that teases and schemes. <br /> <br />And you say to me, <br />You've got to float your own boat. <br />But fear prevents you, <br />To listen to advice you toss away... <br />Before anywhere you go. <br /> <br />You're afraid to row, <br />A boat that stays on shore! <br />And advice you're given... <br />Your are quick to ignore. <br /> <br />Any boat that you'll use will need a rudder. <br />That boat you use will need a rudder. <br />Any boat you will use will need a rudder, <br />From here to there... <br />Or wherever your druthers. <br /> <br />That boat you're using needs a rudder. <br />That boat you're using needs a rudder. <br />That boat you're using needs a rudder... <br />From here to there... <br />Or wherever your druthers. <br /> <br />You seek direction! <br />That's what you claim to need. <br />And you want to stay clear... <br />Of a negativity that teases and schemes. <br /> <br />And you say to me, <br />You've got to float your own boat. <br />But fear prevents you, <br />To listen to advice you toss away... <br />Before anywhere you go. <br /> <br />And you don't want to hear... <br />A floating boat needs a rudder! <br />Not from me, <br />Or anyone other. <br /> <br />No you don't want to hear... <br />A floating boat needs a rudder! <br />Not from me, <br />Or anyone other. <br /> <br />That that that boat, <br />That you're using needs a rudder. <br />One day you'll see... <br />A floating boat needs a rudder! <br />One day you'll find it true... <br />And agree with me. <br /> <br />That that that boat, <br />That you're using needs a rudder. <br />That that that boat, <br />That you're using needs a rudder. <br />One day you'll see... <br />A floating boat needs a rudder! <br />One day you'll find it true... <br />And agree with me. <br /> <br />No matter what druthers suffered... <br />One day you'll agree. <br />A floating boat needs a rudder... <br />To get to your destiny!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
