when the ships all went out to sea
i was left all alone on the shore
that's when my father said to me
he said son that won't happen much more
he said life's like this ocean, it's scary and dark
and you should not journey alone
but on the horizon though it seems so far
is where you will find your home

so i went to the lighthouse and i looked oversea
and from that tower i heard
in the wind from the water that flew past me
a voice whispered just one word

it was your name
it was your name

so i built a boat out of all that i had
and headed out toward the waves
i knew that i could never look back
i was finally on my way

so i rode through the storms and the wind and the rains
some though i was absurd
in the wind from the water that flew my way
a voice whispered just one word

it was your name
it was your name

it was your name
it was your name
it was your name
it was your name
