David Paul Hanson - Setting Sail for America Lyrics

Seems the wind has changed direction
And it's no longer at our backs
These once familiar waters
Now frighten sons and daughters
I hope we all can make it back

Ahead the skies are growing threatening
Our guiding stars, no longer share their light
There'll be no end to darkness
If we don't return to what's right

I'm setting sail for America
Lately it's seems so far away
They say the earth is warming but the world is so cold
I'm setting sail, to find my America

It seems the wind is blowing colder
Why did we start to turn our backs
When did our shorelines,
Become a battles front lines
Children are waiting for a sign

It seems this headwind's blowing stronger
At sea it's best to turn into the storm
If love is what we hold dear
There's nothing left to fear

We are all refugees
Of this universe
This could be our only chance
To break our human curse
And drift among the stars above
In gentleness and kindness
