Lyrics

With your wide-angle outlook

Expressing admiration for a broad perspective or understanding.

And your whistling to beat the band

Applauding someone's enthusiastic and skillful whistling.

You know more than your years

Acknowledging wisdom beyond one's age.

Wheels within wheels you understand

Describing a deep understanding of complex situations and relationships.


You're holding your own

Encouraging self-empowerment and resilience.

You're holding your own

Reiterating the theme of self-sufficiency.

Like the water washes a stone

Comparing personal strength to the persistent erosion of a stone by water.

You're holding your own

Affirming one's ability to maintain stability and control.


You weren't born yesterday

Emphasizing experience and the wisdom gained over time.

Time in the world to find your way

Highlighting the opportunity to navigate life at one's own pace.

The landing lights shine from home

Suggesting a sense of guidance from familiar sources, possibly home.

Could be Dublin or could be Rome

Indicating uncertainty about the specific location but recognizing a homely feeling.


You're holding your own

Repeating the theme of personal strength and resilience.

You're holding your own

Reiterating the idea of maintaining composure and stability.

Like the water washes a stone

Continuing the metaphor of personal strength like water eroding a stone.

You're holding your own

Affirming the individual's ability to endure and persevere.


With your own brand of magic

Acknowledging a unique and personal form of charisma or influence.

Tie the lines and set the sail

Encouraging taking control of one's direction and destiny.

Be true to beliefs that guide you

Advocating for staying true to personal beliefs and principles.

Take your time with your tracks on the trail

Suggesting a patient and deliberate approach to life's journey.


You're holding your own

Reaffirming personal strength and self-sufficiency.

You're holding your own

Restating the theme of holding one's ground and maintaining stability.

Like the water washes a stone

Using the water and stone metaphor to emphasize personal resilience.

You're holding your own

Affirming the individual's capacity to endure and withstand challenges.
