What Am I Fighting For?

When I get the feeling
When I get the feeling that nothing
Nothing can go wrong
I tell myself, now hold on
Hold on and be strong
'Cause nothing
Nothing lasts too long
* chorus
And I try to remind myself
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
What am I fighting for?
When I get the notion
The notion to jump into the river
End it all right now
I tell myself, now hold on
Hold on, just a little bit longer
'Cause nothing lasts too long
repeat chorus*
When I get to thinking
Thinking, now what's the use in this world?
Full of strife and scorn
I tell myself, now hold on
Hold on, 'cause you know that some things
Are worth fighting for
repeat chorus*

Spyglass

Oh the spyglass that I have is a worthy tool indeed
It shows me a million miles across the foamy sea
But this spyglass cannot show me what I long so much to see
The heart of my true love, wherever she may be
Oh the compass in my hand is as true as e're I've owned
It guides me along my way beneath that fickle dome
But this compass cannot guide me in this question that I hold
Does she think of me? I would that it were so
Oh the schooner that I sail, from mast to solid keel
Rides the waves with grace, she let's me take her wheel
But this boat cannot compete for this sailor's promise sealed
For my lady fair, despite her heart concealed
Oh the North Star in the sky is a constant friend in cheer
He talks to me of hope, he takes away my fear
But the North Star cannot tell me what I long so much to hear
Does she wait for me upon that distant pier?
