lyrics

What started off as raw emotion
Has taken on a life of its own
Once it’s been set in motion
No telling how far it’s gonna go
With the trade winds over the ocean
And the currents under the sea
On a ship Called Blind Devotion
That’s where you’ll find me

Catching rhythm
Can’t you feel it?
Close your eyes
Can’t you feel it?

On hand on the mast for caution
When the pitch and toss won’t ease
One hand holding yours in common
Won’t you tell me what you need
All you want and all you desire
And I’ll try to make it real
On a ship called Blind Devotion
That’s where you’ll find me

Catching rhythm
Can’t you feel it?
Close your eyes
Can’t you feel it?

Close your eyes
In the moment
You’ll be catching rhythm
Yeah, we’re really going

So, when the gale winds start to blow
And the outlook is so bleak
We can right this ship together
And set sail for calmer seas
Pick a spot out on the horizon
Raise the anchor and we’ll leave
On a ship called Blind Devotion
That’s where you’ll find me
