Be my soul mate
Help me when I stumble
When I fall I need a helping hand
I'm not ashamed to tell the world I love you
Cause you're the beacon of the storm in which I am

So take me home to where my heart is
Lift me up and lay me down and be my friend
Let's ride the wind across the mighty ocean
All the way around the world and back again

When I'm gone
Don't cry because you're lonesome
Shine you light upon the faces that you see
And remember there's a soul that loves you
And that soul my darling boy is me

So take me home to where my heart is
Lift me up and lay me down and be my friend
Let's ride the wind across the mighty ocean
All the way around the world and back again

Let's ride the wind across the mighty ocean
All the way around the world and back again

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
