Box of matches and a pocket knife Some lumps of sugar this will save my life While my heart is full of confidence, my head is a mess I've got a golden anchor hanging round my neck I said, no I'm hauling up no white flag No, I'm sending out the troops No I'm hauling up no white flag No, don't need more water in the soup My mama told me this would bring me luck 'Cause it's an anchor made of gold I'm gonna build me a black little boat Gonna sew a thin white sail And learn the messages from the wind Learn if a storm is gathering Braid a hat of golden grass It'll protect me from the sun Learn the meaning of the rain Collect the water in a can Girl what are you searching for I haven't been told Girl what takes you further An anchor made of gold An anchor made of gold Tighten the ropes when in dangerous heights Wear three layers of coats in the cold cold night I know I will survive I am no baby bird I've got a golden anchor, it will save me so I've heard No, I'm hauling up no white flag No, I'm sending out the troops No, I'm hauling up no white flag No, don't need more water in the soup My mama told me this would bring me luck 'Cause it's an anchor made of gold I'm gonna build me a black little boat Gonna sew a thin white sail And learn the messages from the wind Learn if a storm is gathering Braid a hat of golden grass It'll protect me from the sun Learn the meaning of the rain Collect the water in a can Girl what are you searching for I haven't been told Girl what takes you further An anchor made of gold An anchor made of gold I'm gonna build me a black little boat Gonna sew a thin white sail And learn the messages from the wind Learn if a storm is gathering Braid a hat of golden grass It'll protect me from the sun An anchor made of An anchor made of gold Girl you gonna find what you're search Girl you gonna find what you're search You have to go further, further Girl you gonna find what you're search Girl you gonna find what you're search But you have to push harder, harder Girl you gonna find what you're search Girl you gonna find what you're search You have to go further, further... I know you have it in you...
