Here I sit at the edge of the ocean
Kickin my legs out, toes in the sea
The winds at my back and the whole world is open
So much I can make of this life before me
All great waves, develop in time
It starts with a ripple, rolls into tide
If I can just thicken my skin and settle my mind
I'll build my great wave one day at a, day at a, day at a, day at a time
I wanna be great; have my kids tell my story
My mother be proud of the things that I've done
See, I was born to make waves not just settle for boring
It's time to take aim for what I'll become
All great waves, develop in time
It starts with a ripple, rolls into tide
If I can just thicken my skin and settle my mind
I'll build my great wave one day at a, day at a, day at a, day at a time
Take me to sea, take me sea
I wanna be buried in possibilities
The wind at my back, sun on my skin
Courage that I need is rising within
The wind at my back, sun on my skin
Everything telling me ‘time to begin’
It’s time to begin
Dreamin I sit at the edge of the ocean
So much I can make of this life before me...

She got long dark hair and grace in her eyes
She can make a mean man care
and he wouldn’t even realize
She can light you up just like a sunrise
Doesn’t seem to need a lover
But you can’t blame 'em all for tryin'
Oooooo hoo, and you’re breathless
But you try your best not to show it
Ooooooooo hoo, and your helpless,
She's gonna take you down and you know it
You’re a wildcard
But that girl, that girl’s your tell
You’ve got a cold heart
But she’s slowly makin' it melt
You tell yourself over, over and over again
You'll never let yourself be open just to be broken
Your last love took your all and your heart’s on the mend
Oh it hurts when you fall but this girl is different
She’s got...somethin'
Oooooo hoo, and you’re breathless
But you know that you can’t control it
Ooooooooo hoo, and your helpless,
Shes gonna take you down and you know it
You’re a wildcard
But that girl, that girl’s your tell
You’ve got a cold heart
But she’s slowly makin' it melt
Ah honey, ah honey, You’re a wildcard
But that girl, that girl’s your tell
You’ve got a cold heart
She’s slowly makin' it melt
Oooooo hoo, Oooooo hoo

I love you, I always will
I need you today
But you're deep into all these pills
So the one that I need is long gone away
It consumes me, my heart is ill
I long for the day
When you're free from all these pills
And the one that I love is back to stay
Trying to write a happy song with a heavy heart
Is like trying to shoot an arrow in the dark dark dark
My aim is strong and true and I'm well intended
But I can't seem to figure out what's the right direction
What is the right direction?
I love you, I always will I need you today
But you're deep into all these pills
So the one that I need is long gone away
Trying to write a happy song with a heavy heart
Is like trying to shoot an arrow in the dark dark dark
You’re livin life so carelessly, I’m hopin one day you will see
It’s never too late to turn it around
This is your come back
Fight your way through the forest
Open up before us
Set yourself free
This is your come back
Shine a light on your demons
Tell em you dont need em
You’re pushin' on (You've got me)
I love you, I always will I long for the day
When you're free from all these pills
And you come back just to say
"Hey, it's me. Sorry I was gone a while"

oooooo ladadada
oooooo ladadada
You've got a life a most fortunate life
that your man sits back and allows
you don't even care if he's happy or not
cuz you only care about how
much can he give me, how much can I take
isn't that what life's all about?
well when your time comes
well I hope that you're ready
cuz it seems that your life's about Katy, Katy
oh, Katy can't you see? What about me?
If you're really diggin' deep, is this who you wanna be?
I've tried and I've tried but you're gonna end up alone
You'll be twiddling thumbs on your lonely Katy throne
She's quite a vision of cunning and power
that leads to believe that she really cares
makes you feel good till you question that power
then watch as she seethes with the need to declare
you're just a pawn in the Katy game and she never needed you
to be part of her anything 'cuz you are nothing
and all that ever matters is Katy, Katy
oh, Katy can't you see? What about me?
If you're really diggin' deep, is this who you wanna be?
I've tried and I've tried but you're gonna end up alone
You'll be twiddling thumbs on your lonely Katy throne
You're beautiful and charming...x4
You're beautiful...x4
But Katy can't you see? What about me?
If you're really diggin' deep, is this who you wanna be?
I've tried and I've tried but I'm better off on my own
You'll be tired and alone, you'll be tired and alone
on your wicked, wicked, wicked Katy throne

You said that you're better off dead
singin' "whatever you do, don't become me"
"whatever you do, set yourself free, child"
I know that your days are difficult
and you walk a heavy road, but I say
whatever you do will become you
whatever you choose will become of you, so
So what is free, when you think about it, anyway?
I can't be free, no I, I can't be me without you
I believe there's always a chance to be redeemed
Still, I am branches, you are the tree
and there is, just no me without you
When I was younger, you saved me from my mother
She was sick and it wasn’t her fault
but the bruises tore the family apart
We drove the country lookin' just to get free
but the past is always with me
It played a part in sculpting
but it doesn’t get to define who I am
What is free, when you think about it, anyway?
I can't be free, no I, I can't be me without you
I believe there's always a chance to be redeemed
Still, I am branches, you are the tree
and there is, just no me without
You (x4)
There's just no separating
There's just no separating
What is free, when you think about it, anyway?
I can't be free, no I, I can't be me without you
I believe there's always a chance to be redeemed
Still, I am branches, you are the tree
and there is, just no me without you
There's just no me without you

Twistin' words and weavin' thoughts
There’s so much goin' on upstairs
At the mercy of ticking clocks
And nobody, nobody seems to care
Do you see me?
I’m a desperate woman
And I live a life alone in my head
Yeah, you see me
I’m that headcase woman
But you don't know the first thing…
So if you’re walking by and catch my eye
Shoot a smile in this direction
It could lift me from the thoughts that drown me
Offer me some brief protection
Simple, sweet relief
From the burden of being me
I haven't seen my home years
It's buried in my memories
But sometimes when close my eyes just right
The pictures, they come back to me
Do you see me?
I'm a lonely woman
And I live a life inside of my head
Yeah, you see me
I'm that no name woman
but you don't know the first thing
So if you’re walking by and catch my eye
Shoot a smile in this direction
It could lift me from the thoughts that drown me
Offer me some brief protection
Simple, sweet relief
From the burden of being me

I enjoy Sarah's treatment of the holiday classics, but her original - 'Light' - is really something special. The tune, the tone, the lyrics and her delicate voice combine to send me into a state of peaceful repose, basking in a soft light.
