The Man That You've Become
On deck aboard a pilot boat
We waited for the light
Huddled close we warmed our hands breathing fog into the night
Through ancient ways of navigation following a star
Oh brother I can't tell you where you’re going, but I know just where you are
Cause every time I close my eyes
And sink into a sleep
Or stare across the sky
I hear the sound of your heart beat
I see the man that you've become
Following a dream
Dream dream
Skate across the ocean like a figure on the ice
But waves will come a crashing down
Like tumbling dice
Place no faith in destinations, be they near or far
Oh brother I can't tell you where you're going
But I know just who you are
Cause I've watched you as you've grown up tall
Humble in your rising
And gracious in a fall
You'll see the world, you'll see it all
As the man that you've become
In service of a call
Just listen for your call
And when the night begins to fall for days
Soon you'll ask what makes this world this way
Inside the silence if you start to pray
You will hear,
A voice will say
That patiently the water's waiting there for you and me
A thousand miles of ocean only leads into the sea
But your hands will trace the state of Grace, a map from up above
Cause brother I can tell that where you're going
You're bringing light and bringing love
So I'll follow as you light my way
With the wisdom of a child
Joyously at play
I'll find you as you find your own way
As the man that you've become
The man you are today
