I set sail on the open sea,  
With a heart full of love and a mind full of dreams,  
My sweetheart waved me goodbye,  
As I set off to chase my seafaring schemes. 
 
Chorus:  
Oh, the wind and the waves may toss me about,  
And the storms may rage and the skies turn to doubt,  
But my love for my sweetheart will never die out,  
As I sail across the sea. 
 
I've been gone for many a month,  
And my thoughts are always with my love on land,  
I'll return to her soon,  
With treasures from distant shores in hand. 
 
Chorus:  
Oh, the wind and the waves may toss me about,  
And the storms may rage and the skies turn to doubt,  
But my love for my sweetheart will never die out,  
As I sail across the sea. 
 
But then came the storm, with its fierce winds and rain,  
My ship was tossed and thrown, with no hope of gain,  
I thought of my love, as I fought for my life,  
Hoping to see her again, free from strife. 
 
Chorus:  
Oh, the wind and the waves may toss me about,  
And the storms may rage and the skies turn to doubt,  
But my love for my sweetheart will never die out,  
As I sail across the sea. 
 
But alas, the storm took me under its tide,  
And I knew as I sunk, my journey had ended,  
My love will always be, in my heart and my mind,

Rat race

By Howard Aronson

This lyric is about the craziness of living in the world today. No one has time for anybody anymore, everybody's just moving at such a fast Pace. Simple pleasures are no longer simple, everything is a fight, it's just an arduous task to get through a day. All the distractions, the traffic on the roads, and the angry people behind the wheel. There's so much distraction, so much temptation, and so much aggravation. It's really hard to take, and it won't be long before the world just blows up totally. There's so many wars and so much hate I'm not sure how much longer this can last.

Making it

By Edward McBride

This song describes the hopes and dreams of a poor cotton picker in the Southern United States. He picks cotton by day and picks on his guitar at night. He stays humble as he starts to get noticed and gets signed up by an agent. The rise is rapid as he soon opens for some big stars in Nashville. Through it all he remains humble.
