You know, I always took this song literally- that the teen in the song was going off for a homestay, or a study abroad program "show that family that you care" being her host family. 'Course that's as far as I got...would be interested to read everyone's take on this...

--Button up that shirt you're supposed to wear. Don't forget your airline
ticket or to brush your hair, Show that family that you care. But could you
wear something that celebrates, Everything you love, and maybe what your
family hates, Cause that might be what it takes.

It's your fire, it's your soul, you shouldn't have to go.
It's your fire, it's your soul, you shouldn't have to go.

First thing they'll say's take off your shoes, And they'll say they want your
story, but they get confused, By all those words you use. A year ago your car
went off a cliff, And you saw an angel in midair who said you'd live, Well,
that's a story you can give,

It's your fire, it's your soul, you shouldn't have to go.
Your fire, your soul, you shouldn't have to go.

And they'll say, "You're family, you belong to us. You can stay at home and
have our love and trust, But any day now one of us could die, and if we make
you suffer don't you want to find out why, Cause we love to watch you try,
With your fire, your soul, your soul. It's your fire, it's your fire, it's
your fire.

Then you'll fly home and get the flu, And you'll keep staring at the ground,
you always do, When they get their time with you. You are not a punching bag,
my dear, I think your darkest day should have some light this year, I think
you should stay right here.

It's your fire, it's your soul, you shouldn't have to go.
It's your fire, it's your soul, you shouldn't have to go.

I am going to a far, far land.
I know it sure as I've a past and a future.
With my maps on the table, you see, I have lost many things,
so many I won't turn back.

The stars of the sea are the same for the land.
--Dar Williams

Out along the shore in a hurricane of ice and foam
Swaying in the roar I was standing on the dock alone
In the night
Where the forces came to play
And maybe I
Should have known to turn away
But I never felt so drawn and bound
To the great unknown
'Til it turned me around
And it sent me home.
