Brought up in a world of changes Part time cleaner in a holiday flat I stare out to sea at the ships at night No anesthesia I´m going to work on it day to day
No zephyr, no light relief it seems But maybe it´s a dream I´m lying back in a row of timber cases Placed out on the dock with nightmare faces looking at me And I can see now and I wanna be free now This is my home, this is my sea Don´t paint it with the future of factories I want to stay, I feel okay There´s nothing else that´s perfect I´ll have my way We´re all sinking in our own mud We´re all sinking in our own mud Brought up in a world of changes Waste product pedestrian limb from limb A short changed by the surfing priest again Two children in the harbor They play their games, storm water drain
Write their contract in the sand, it´ll be gray for life But you can draw the blind but you can´t stop the sun From shining on and on and getting you there Tide forever beckons you to leave, something holds you back It´s not the promise of a swell or a girl just The hope that some day, some way it´ll be okay So you stop and say This is my home, this is my sea Don´t paint it with the future of factories This is my life, this is my right I´ll make it what I want to I´ll stay and I´ll fight I´ll fight and I´ll fight and I´ll fight And I´ll fight and I´ll fight I´ll fight and I´ll fight and I´ll fight
