Phil Spillman - Set My Sail Lyrics

I look in the mirror
And I see a stranger
Brown eyes filled with fear
Cause' I guess I'm the danger

They say you just won't try
They say you're to sensitive to life
They say it looks like you've up and quit
They say all you have done to me I wish I could forget

I open my mouth
But the words sound so distant
It doesn't matter if it's God's advice
I probably won't listen

They say pull yourself up
The say it seems it's only you that you love
They say, "Damn it, it's gone on long enough"
And your battle cry is a hush

I don't know how long the storm will rage
I don't know the words to write when I turn the page
All I know is I'm willing and some days I'm able
So when the wind blows I won't hide behind my thoughts
No, when that wind blows I will set my sail

They say don't you know who you hurt
They say don't you have any self worth
They say if only you would just listen
But I'm just an actor in this play, waiting on intermission
I don't know how long the storm will rage
I don't know the words to write when I turn the page
All I know is I'm willing and some days I'm able
So when the wind blows I won't hide behind my thoughts
No, when that wind blows I will set my sail
