Story behind the song
I was helping sail a boat back from Puerto Rico and it was a repo so it had pleanty of problems. It took us 6 days to get from San Juan to Dominican Republic because of the barnicles on the bottom slowed down the speed drasticly. When we arrived in Dominican republic, the captain asked me to write a song about our trip. This song described the feeling on the morning that we saw welcomed land. It also had a simile to my personal development and path.
Lyrics
OFFSHORE ©1994 RICK STEFFEN I’M LOOKIN AT THE SUNRISE - HIGH ABOVE THE WATER I’M SAILIN ON A STEADY BLOWIN BREEZE IT’S TAKIN ME TO SOMEWHERE - I WON’T BE MISTAKEN A PLACE WHERE I CAN LOVE AND BE AT EASE I WOKE UP THIS MORNIN - A HOPIN AND A YAWNIN TO CATCH SIGHT OF A PLACE I’VE NEVER SEEN I’VE BEEN CRUISIN ON AN OCEAN - OF ENDLESS COMPLICATIONS SEARCHIN FOR A REST TO OLD ROUTINES AND I’VE COME....SO....FAR... I’M ALMOST.... OFFSHORE.... AND MY.... FEELINGS - BEGIN TO SOAR I’M ALMOST .......OFFSHORE ALL MY SENSES TELL ME - THE FOAMY BRINE COMPELLS ME TO BREATHE AN EVEN LARGER BREATH OF AIR THE SWELLING OF THE OCEAN - IS GIVIN ME THE NOTION TO THROW AWAY MY TROUBLES AND MY CARES CHORUS THIS GOOD SHIP AND THE CAPTAIN - THEY’RE FUSSIN AND A SCRAPPIN’ SQUEEZIN’ SOME MORE SPEED OUT OF THE AIR I’M FEELIN LIKE A LEGEND - UNCOVERING AN OCEAN DISCOVERING A PLACE THAT WASN’T THERE CHORUS
