This is the first track from my 2012 album, Reflections. You can find it everywhere. Here it is at bandcamp:

This song is about facing your fears; we need to find that which grounds us, and turn back to it, every now and then.

Lyrics:
(v1)
Once around the world
You wish you could go back
The medal that you earned
Or Shiny silver plaque
The folks you met along the way
The places you wish you could stay

(chorus)
Some of us don’t really like the ocean
We'll all have to see it once again
We turn back to the things we can't escape from
Every now and then

(v2)
Once you know you're in
You know you can't go back
And soon you're caught again
The innocence you lack
No matter what they say to you
You know there's nothing you can't do.

(repeat chorus)

(bridge)
Every now and then
Cryin in the end
We'll all end up cryin' in the end

(whistling verse)

(repeat chorus)

Every now and then.

If you read this far, congratulations! Here's a link to my first public performance of this song at a talent show:
