Lyrics Oedipus (1692), Z. 583): Song: Music for a while - Alfred Deller , Henry Purcell
Like
a
small
boat
On
the
ocean
Sending
big
waves
Into
motion
Like
how
a
single
word
Can
make
a
heart
open
I
might
only
have
one
match
But
I
can
make
an
explosion
And
all
those
things
I
didn't
say
Wrecking
balls
inside
my
brain
I
will
scream
them
loud
tonight
Can
you
hear
my
voice
this
time?
This
is
my
fight
song
Take
back
my
life
song
Prove
I'm
alright
song
My
power's
turned
on
Starting
right
now
I'll
be
strong
I'll
play
my
fight
song
And
I
don't
really
care
if
nobody
else
believes
'Cause
I've
still
got
a
lot
of
fight
left
in
me
Losing
friends
and
I'm
chasing
sleep
Everybody's
worried
about
me
In
too
deep
Say
I'm
in
too
deep
(in
too
deep)
And
it's
been
two
years
I
miss
my
home
But
there's
a
fire
burning
in
my
bones
Still
believe
Yeah,
I
still
believe
And
all
those
things
I
didn't
say
Wrecking
balls
inside
my
brain
I
will
scream
them
loud
tonight
Can
you
hear
my
voice
this
time?
This
is
my
fight
song
Take
back
my
life
song
Prove
I'm
alright
song
My
power's
turned
on
Starting
right
now
I'll
be
strong
I'll
play
my
fight
song
And
I
don't
really
care
if
nobody
else
believes
'Cause
I've
still
got
a
lot
of
fight
left
in
me
A
lot
of
fight
left
in
me
Like
a
small
boat
On
the
ocean
Sending
big
waves
Into
motion
Like
how
a
single
word
Can
make
a
heart
open
I
might
only
have
one
match
But
I
can
make
an
explosion
This
is
my
fight
song
(Hey!)
Take
back
my
life
song
(Hey!)
Prove
I'm
alright
song
(Hey!)
My
power's
turned
on
Starting
right
now
I'll
be
strong
(I'll
be
strong)
I'll
play
my
fight
song
And
I
don't
really

if
nobody

believes
'Cause
I've

No
I've
still
got
a
lot
of
fight
left
in
me
