Setting Sail

Since my computer was stolen last year I haven't completely put my album collection on my iTunes. Today, while at work, I was listening to Pandora.com and was really in the mood for some Dave Matthews Band, surprisingly enough. Anyway, I hadn't listened to Dave's solo album in a long time, and this song popped up. Good one. Here are the lyrics. I'd like to think of myself as a ship in bottle that's set sail against the current. It's exciting to be doing what I had always wanted to do. I'm out in the world, living across the country, exploring life for a bit, trying to create a niche while I'm here. I'm here, aren't I? If everything is lost, make sure to check out Pandora.com the next shot you get.

Baby

Baby, It's alright
Stop your cryin' now

Nothing is here to stay
Everything has to begin and end
A ship in a bottle won't sail
All we can do is dream that the
wind will blow us across the water
A ship in a bottle set sail

Baby, It's alright
Stop your cryin' now

There was a weakling man
who dreamed he was strong as a hurricane
A ship in a bottle set sail
He took a deep breath and blew across the world
he watched everything crumble
woke up a weakling again

Some might tell you there's no hope in hand
just because they feel hopeless
but you don't have to be a thing like that
You'll be a ship in a bottle set sail

Baby' It's alright stop your cryin' now
It's alright so stop your cryin' now

You'll be a ship in a bottle set sail
