	作曲 : Leo
	Oceans lay between us and the things we think we need
	But I've known many who would gladly swim to get to where you are
	Always more together than the ones you think are better off
	But darling, no one's made it half as far
	And it's so hard and I know how hard
	And I know how hard to pursue
	When you just ain't breaking through
	But don't you let them tell you that you're wrong
	You're either thinning like the fog upon a marshy tidal bog
	As the crane takes flight and she sings her silent song
	Or spinning like a hurricane, they've not yet used your name
	And I'm left wondering why is it taking so long?
	And it's so hard and I know how hard
	And I know how hard to pursue
	When you just ain't breaking through
	But don't you let them tell you that you're wrong
	Moving around in the space that you've found
	To be finally fit for you
	And you're strong at the helm but you're still overwhelmed
	By all the painting left to do
	Everything's calm in the half-light of dawn
	But the morning will bring no peace
	'Cause you'll never be done with the work you've begun
	Even in moments of relief
	Grappling with time and the mercury line
	As the afternoon sun gets hot
	And you'll always be far from the things that you are
	'Cause there's so much that you're not
	So move it around, check your depth with a sounding
	Your map reference against the stars
	And your work and your home, like your clothes, are your own
	Like your skin and like your scars
	I told you they've had power all along
	So don't you let you tell you that you're wrong
