That Ain't Why We Build 'em



Melody was a ballerina, she knew it in her heart
Even though there was no ballet in town
She saved her pennies up for a one-way ticket on a Greyhound bus
One bag, two shoes, and a point on the map eastbound
She always said, if she could dream it, then it just might come true

CHORUS 
We’re all raising sails
On the wild, wild waves
Hoping for a wind to fill ’em
They say a harbour is
The safest place for ships
Oh, but that ain't why we build ’em
No, that ain't why we build ’em

Rumours float around real fast, some say she’ll never last
That the course she chose is just too hard and long
Others say she lost her way, that she never had what it takes
But could a pure heart ever steer her so wrong?
Maybe she’s right, if she can dream it, then it just might come true

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
Hold steady as she goes, steady as she goes, where the soul needs
Hold steady as she goes, steady as she goes, see where it leads
Hold steady as she goes, steady as she goes, see where it leads
Hold steady as she goes, steady as she goes, where the soul needs

REPEAT CHORUS 

Melody’s a ballerina, she knows it in her heart
