O' Seafarer
O' Seafarer... stranded on sands of time
you're lost in illusions, mirages of mind.
You feel all your journeys
just haven't mattered
for you've lost your oars
and your sails are all tattered!
How faded come dreams
of a far distant shore
when your anchor weighs heavy
and stuck in the moor!
You fear the adventure
for the waters seem cold
unaware of the treasures
their depths can hold.
Don't think the horizon
is where it all ends,
your not knowing the ending
is where it begins.
O' Seafarer
stranded, on sands of time
break free the anchor
and all ties that can bind!
Scrape down the barnacles
dust off your dreams,
stretch out your sails
and sew up their seams.
Pull out your compass
and head out to sea,
O Seafarer... stranded,
it's time to be free!
