it s time for a change i m tired of that same old same the same old words the same old lines the same old tricks and the same old rhymes it s days precious days they roll in and out like waves i got boards to bend and i got planks to nail i got charts to make and i got seas to sail i m gonna build me a boat with these two hands it will be a fair curve from a noble plan let the chips fall where they will because i ve got boats to build now sails are just like wings and the wind can make em sing songs of life songs of hope songs to keep your dreams afloat i m gonna build me a boat with these two hands it will be a fair curve from a noble plan let the chips fall where they will because i ve got boats to build  shores distant shores there is where i m headed for got the stars to guide my way sail into the light of day i m gonna build me a boat with these two hands it will be a fair curve from a noble plan let the chips fall where they will because i ve got boats to build
