I have a heart-wrecked home, the one I love is sailing,
happy on a sea of my tears in a boat of my failings.
It's like a push inside, it's like the voice of God,
and I'm gonna make the best of what I'm given,
be mySelf for a living, be my Self for a living.

but it's really not the point at all,
this is who I am, it's my wedding band,
it's my wedding band.

something like a mission, gifts we carry for this world;
to take that push inside as the voice of God,
telling you to make the best of what you're given,
be yourself for a living, be yourself for a living,
I'll be myself for a living, be myself for a living.
