December Song: The Wood Song
Artist: Indigo Girls [more]

Essence of the music/lyrics: Using the metaphor of a ship, the song suggests that our work is never done and in that truth, we find life.

Excerpt:
The wood is tired and the wood is old
But we'll make it fine, if the weather holds
But if the weather holds, will we miss the point?
That's where I need to go.
